Decoupage on storage, designer envelope and Mandala tool box

This week  I am storing something unique, which I created  for myself. That includes, decoupage on storage, which is always my favourite. Last week was very creative , and lots of craft materials shopping too. These I have used in my many craft projects. Some to gift and some for myself.

The first one is this storage wooden box, which I will be using to store my tatting shuttles. I have loads of tatting shuttles and threads. So many tatting projects I start simultaneously, I fall short of tatting shuttles sometimes :). This box will hold most of my tatting shuttles.

Here is the storage box:

Storage box for my tatting shuttles

I have used decoupage paper on the top. You can see a tatting lace with a lace material. On that I have stuck a decoupaged tatting shuttle on that. On the side I have decoupaged with a fabric lace, to give it a lacy look.

The tiny pearls are complementing with the lace.

It is a storage box for watches, so it has many compartments.

My tatting shuttles have now beautiful place to get stored:

Next one is to store my Mandala coloring pages. This is like a tool box, where I can store Mandala coloring pages and some plain papers, pens and coloring pens.

Stenciling and embellishments

This I made with cardboard box which I had a bedsheet which I bought. On the top I stenciled with modeling paste and used a mandala design decoupage paper. I had some Mandala embellishments to complement this. Still I feel, I need to improve a lot in using mixed media.

Inside I have created some compartments to store different tools to draw mandala. All over stuck Mandala coloring pages:

The next  two were for my friends. I have already sent these to her and she loved my gifts I sent on her birthday. One is the tray which I decorated with decoupage tissue.

Can you see the sparkle on the tray. That’s because I have used Modpodge sparkle to varnish. It has given really a sparkly look to the tray, which is perfect for the Birthday girl 🙂

And for the same birthday girl, I designed this designer envelope to send a card.

Designed with distress Ink techniques and many more

Here I have used distress ink techniques and also stamping.

WOW! It was really a arty crafty week. Hope to have such weeks ahead too. 🙂

Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
