Altered Kleenex Box


Time for another challenge at Creative Artiste and my project this month is an altered Kleenex box. The Theme of the challenge is anything goes with a twist -  add some chipboard. 

We are proudly sponsored this month by




I painted my Kleenex box with gray gesso then added some chipboard pieces (butterfly, heart and flowers).  To fill in my piece I used dollar store bling and old jewelry to the box with Heavy  Gel Medium. I also add some diamond shaped wood pieces that I got from taking a part an old trivet.  One I was satisfied with my pattern I sprayed the box with several colours of ink sprays then when I completed the box I added a clear acrylic paint to protect it.

This is the box I started with.




Here is a few different views of the box.









This was a fun messy project that took we a couple of weeks to complete.   I think this project will find a home in my bedroom.   Thank you for stopping by.   Please pop over to the Creative Artiste Blog to see the other projects the design team created to inspire you.

Have a creative day.
