Today, it’s my turn in the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs. This month, I’ve chosen the adorable little “Sewing Kit” to keep me company!!
For a while now, I’ve been running out of places to store spare buttons – I have one boring Tupperware box, but it is bursting at the seams. When I saw this little stamp, I thought it would be the perfect little image to pop on top of a spare button box….
Now, rather than upcycle a box I already had (why chose the simple route?!), I decided to make a box, using a template I had in my Silhouette library. I cut the template from Kraft card, stuck it altogether with Mod Podge and then left it to dry overnight, held into place with some small bulldog clips. In the meantime, I coloured Kit in sepia tones as I thought these would blend well with the Kraft card. A little Tattered Rose Distress Ink was added to reduce the glaring white of the card I had printed the image onto.
The following morning, I stuck the image to the top of the box, and then used a light layer of Mod Podge to seal the image. A little ric rac around the edge of the top, and a little lace around the main pot and it’s ready for my button collection!
Why don’t you head over to Kitty Bee and add “Sewing Kit” to your stamp collection….?
This is so cute, love the image and now you can make as many pots as you need for you buttons and things 🙂
