Easter Boxes Continued!

Well I finally made my third mini box!  This one I have titled 'the Easter Egg hunt'.

I used a page from the same old ruined book to make the background.  The flowers are stitched with embroidery thread.  I made the little basket with string and the little eggs are made with the same mold as previously.  This time I used foil on them to make them look shiny just like real Easter eggs.

And here's the complete set

My next project is to knit (well, try to!) some Easter chicks.  If I get it right I'll pop in here to show you. 

Thanks for coming to visit!

Easter Boxes

I had a lovely play time this week making a couple of little gift boxes for Easter.

The gift box was cut with a Lawn Fawn tiny gift box die, I really love this die, it's so useful!

The first box I decorated was this one with a nest and little eggs.  The nest is made from wound up string, the miniature eggs were made using a Mod Podge Mod Melts mold - which I've owned for years and never used! I guess every crafter has things stashed away for a rainy day lol! I added a beautiful feather and a torn piece of a book page.  I hate the thought of tearing up a book but thankfully this book was already water damaged and had been rescued from the rubbish bin.

Inspired by the outcome of my first box, I decided to make a second.

For this box I cut the rabbit with a an Impression Obsession die - it's such a cute die! I made a miniature pompom because all bunnies need a fluffy tail lol and I made the carrot with Fimo clay and some embroidery thread for the leaves.

I plan to fill them with mini eggs

I'm now thinking about a third box.  Hopefully I'll be back soon.....thanks for stopping by!
