I had so much fun with this. It's been way too long since I brought out the glue, foam brushes, paper and made a complete mess of my workspace - lol.
Materials:
White photo box from OfficeMax
SEI Ally's Wonderland papers/stickers/tagsPhotos printed on Epson Premium Presentation Paper
Instructions:
I started by printing my photos and laying them on the box. Then I started cutting pieces of paper and laying them out. Once I had a general idea for the look, I slid the pieces on to a large sheet of cardstock to keep them somewhat together.
Then I cut the side/front pieces. I chose not to wrap them completely around the box because I wanted her to be able to open/close it easily. I cut the pieces to fit, then scored them with a bone folder so that there was about 1/4" overlap on the top of the box. Then I brushed Mod Podge on the back, put in place and smoothed from the center out to prevent creases. *Be careful when you glue down your photos - you don't want any glue on the front of them because it will take off parts of your photo.
I continued gluing my pieces until the entire surface was covered. Then I let dry for an hour.
Then I brushed 3 coats of Anita's satin varnish on top and let dry for a few hours in between each coat.
Last step was to print her name on a piece of digital notebook paper and slide in the front label.
I hope she likes it!
