3D Altered Box with Video Tutorial- Graphic 45

“Hello everyone! I share with you an interactive pop-up altered box that I made using the Tropical Travelogue collection. I made the 3d pop-up effect coming out from the lid of the wooden box. I created like a shelf hanging of chains from the lid and I will show you all the creative process in the video. Let’s take a look…

I took measurements of all sides of the box, then I cut paper in these sizes and covered the box inside and outside. I prefer to use liquid glue to adhere the paper to the wood.

Once the box was covered, I distressed with a sponge all the edges with the Color Box decades ink to achieve the vintage look.

I cut out some leaves and flowers from the papers to decorate the top of the box. I paste some of the leaves using the 3D foam tape, it gives a realistic effect.

When I open the box the shelf comes out and it’s being held by chains. I decorated the shelf with various leaves and I also incorporated chipboard and sticker.

I mixed colors like black, greens, browns with a touch of orange and I love how they look together and to make it more interesting I added textures with mini art stones.  I gave a rusty effect to the stones with a copper paint.

I added some buttons, pearls and a Metal Clock Key to the lid. It took me some time but it was worthy, I love the final result!  I hope it inspires you and take a look at the video down below. Thank you so much for stopping by today..until next time! xx”
