Hi friends!
Tonight I want to show off a candle holder I altered today.
Below is a picture of what it looked like before.....
I grabbed a few of these, for $1.50 each, at a dollar store last year.
I used a sheet of Graphic45's
Once Upon a Springtime Collection paper
to cover all the sides, top and bottom of the box.
I used mod podge to adhere it all.
I sanded all the edges, then added some vintage photo distress ink.
Love that vintage look!
I added the lace trim from my stash.
The tag and flower were made with
My Artistic Adventures
I'm out of printer ink so I was lucky enough to have this collage set printed already!
I cut a tag down to make it small enough for the box and used a couple of flower punches to make the flower with the remainder of the tag.
I added a pink pearl to the center of the flower and wrapped some fibers around the back.
I used a Spring Curvy Banner,
also from My Artistic Adventures.
I added some glitter on the tag and banner.....
Lettuce on the banner & Wild Rose on the tag from Art Glitter.
Before the glitter, I added a bit of vintage photo distress ink to the banner, tag and flower.
I added a couple mulberry roses & leaf to the flower cluster then
added them all,
overlapping the tag & banner.
