Nothing that's been turned into Something.......

Hello there - hope we have all had a great day? I have. I have been very busy crafting away and looking for storage solutions for my increasing stash.  I needed a magazine file but there wasn't one in the shops that i liked so i decided to make one instead.  I started with this.....

An old box of detergent

I spent a good while cutting out the shape with several tries in marker pen first.  then when i was happy with the overall shape i began to cut out. I ended up covered in leftover soap powder that i forgot to get out first but on the upside my craft room is smelling very sweet!! 

I then had a look through my paper stash and found the perfect papers.  My craft corner is in my bedroom so i decided to match the colour scheme with the rest of my decor.  These are the ones that i chose....

I then proceeded to stick the paper on and cut around the box.

On another sheet of the paper that has the key elements om i cut several keys, buttons and thimbles out and i covered them in Anita's Glossy Accents 

I had to wait for ages until they dried but i think it was worth it. I really liked the effect that it gave and being the first time i had used this product i was very pleased with the finished result.

I continued adding embellishments from my personal stash and cuttings from the paper pad and i slowly came together.

Here it is in all it's finished glory - really am proud of it and it''s filled with...of course my craft mags i have yet to read and take cuttings out of for future ideas
