Hand Crafted Fleur De Lis & Scrolly boxes!
Hello there~ Here are my hand painted & crafted “Fleur De Lis & Scrolly Boxes” I made these today. Lets take a tutorial….
First off I found these boxes at Desert Industries~ its like a Good Will~ the smaller one was inside the big one. The original tags were on the bottom of them. The smaller one was $3.89 and the bigger one was $4.89 I GOT THEM “sold together” for $1.00 dollar SCORE! I TOLD you all that I have been on a box KICK~ my halloween ones are up next……
after painted with ACRYLIC paint “Barn Red” and “Antique White” this is before I mod podged the paper designs on.
after the pieces were cut out from my cricut, i used Distress Ink and stamped over the burnt yellow looking paper. I used the “Home Decor” Cartridge for the cricut. I didn’t end up using the Memories one you see in the pic.
On the bigger lid~ I again, used the distress ink.
I used the lustre MOD PODGE to give it a nice shine.
FOR NOW… i say that, because I move things around until I LOVE the home aka spot IT ENDS UP IN. So for NOW… its on my bookshelf, I placed a topiary inside the box, that may change too…..

I love your boxes! I am going to have to go to Dollar Tree at lunch tomorrow! Have a great night! Kenz
Love this, I went to my Dollar Tree today and they didn’t have such a great selection. I should hit the one of the others in the “big city” tomorrow, my tiny town just isn’t cutting it. Hardly any boxes and NO hurricanes.
thanks for sharing this!!
