Altered music box. Step by step tutorial

Hello everyone!

Today I want to share with you my altered music box. May be firstly I have to tell story about this box decoration :) I am huge fan of Harry Potter and one of my friends is fan too :) When I was in Gdansk I bought a music box playing Harry Potter melody.  I decided to decorate it specifically to her. As her "house" is Ravenclaw I decided to make it blue and feather is symbol. This box looks amazing and is really easy to do :) so check my youtube channel to see video :)

Getting ready for Lithuanian Scrappers meeting

This weekend there will be anual Lithuanian scrapbook  lovers meeting. It is my first time there. I feel really excited about that :)))) For this meeting every participant has to prepare handmade present for another. On Sunday we will find out to whom we have to give this handmade present. Kind of Secret Santa, but in spring. So I after I decorate my first box, I decided to decorate one for the present. Unfortunately I run out of my white texture paste so I had to use transparent with glitter. So tecture this time is not so visible. However, I finally received prima texture paste and mat gel! I was dreaming about mat gel since the end of the March, but there was only gloss gel. So despite the fact, that I was sure that my box is finished, this morning I added some mat gel and sequins. Hope that participant who will get this box will like it :)

First box

Today I want share with you with my first decorated box! Firstly I bought a really big heart shaped box :) but I understood that it is better to start with a small one and easier shape. When I was planning to decorate box, I wanted to use black gesso and then decorate it. But I was really afraid that it will be in steam punk style :)  I wanted something completely different! I wanted to make it cute, nice, gentle... Well, for last month I really fall in love with violet color, so I tried to combine it with my favorite turquoise and here is my results!
