Here in Spain last Sunday was Mother's Day, and this was the gift I gave to mine.
It was a long time since I gave my mother a craft made by myself. And believe that last Sunday was like traveling back in time, to the time when I was a girl doing crafts at school to give them to my mother on this date.
She loved the gift. Immediately she put the boxes on his dressing table and filled each box with her things.
The satisfaction and joy that I felt when seeing a broad smile drawn on her face is indescribable.
But let's leave the sentimental a little aside and let's focus on the practical part.
[spoiler]
The set of organizer boxes is made up of 3 boxes of different sizes each one. There is a large, a medium and a small that is so cute.
The largest one measures 20х12,5х15 cm. It is a box that has enough capacity.
And to personalize it, what I did was to paint it with the “Shabby velour cocoa”.
The particularity of ‘Shabby velour’ paints is that they have a sandy texture, which depending on the effect we want to achieve in our projects, we can accentuate it or disguise it by applying more or less layers of paint.
In my case I wanted to soften the texture a bit and what I did was, after applying the paint and once dry gently pass sandpaper so that the surface was smoother.
The next thing I did was, on the four sides of the box I applied transparent 3D Gel using a flower stencil I had at home ... here I open a parenthesis to say that as I don’t usually do mixed media or techniques that require the use of pasta and stencils, I don’t have much of that material. But this is gonna change because after seeing all the variety of precious stencils that Fabrika Decoru has, I am in love with them and I want them all
Well, as I was saying, while the gel is still wet it’s color is white, but once it’s dry it becomes transparent, which gives a very subtle volume effect.
And finally, I decorated the cover with scrapbooking paper from the 'Letters of love' scrapbooking paper collection. The contrast of the paper with the color of the painting is very delicate and romantic.
The next box, the median one measures 15 x 11 x 11 cm. And the customization process was practically the same. The only difference is the color, because this time I painted the box with ‘Shabby velour - milk chocolate', and the sanding after the painting was much softer than that of the big box, because I wanted the texture of the grain of the paint was more noticeable
And finally the tiny box, which is a tenderness, measures 10 x 7.5 x 8.5 cm
I painted it with the same paint color as the big box, that is, the ‘Shabby velour -cocoa' and the result can not be sweeter.
You can see that the decoration of these boxes is clean and simple, but I assure you that the result is great.
I hope that what I have told you and the images I have shown you will inspire and motivate you to customize your own boxes.
Thanks for reading and see you in a next opportunity
