Once the base was Dry I added several elements from Bead Landing (cogs and wheels) TH wings, Articake charm and other pieces from my metals stash.. Then she was hit with dylusions london blue spray and rub n buff silver leaf..

Phonograph cigar box using Graphic 45 Communique paper


HI everyone,

I wanted to do a phonograph but didn't want to create a box so I improvised. I took a tutorial from Tarascraftstudios.com and converted into an svg file. Her's was a free wpr or print file so I am providing a FREE version of the svg phonograph file based off of her picture. (please keep it free)

THESE ARE SVG FILES.. need to have the software to open. 


https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Br7N8Os7bcZ2t6QVRJbWp1dWc/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Br7N8Os7bcQ0JBWlR5bU50Qk0/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Br7N8Os7bcYVBxb09TcGRtN0U/view?usp=sharing

I then took a cigar box (small) and unhinged it. used the bottom part only. This i used as the top base.

The bottom base is a complete cigar box resting on TH metal feet. Paper is Graphic 45 communique. Metals for the wheel and holder are TH screws. 

Left for knobs I used a Graphic 45 metal staple. smaller knob is a button painted in black sitting on a pencil eraser with a Graphic 45 small metal staple.
Hope you find great use out of the SVG files. (should send you to three)

Altered Pin Book using Graphic 45 Secret Garden Vintage Lace

Hi Crafters!

I was organizing my craft room and found this Mcgill storage case (flower tools holder) and decided to turn in to a pin book.

Supplies used:
Graphic 45 Secret Garden Fabric
Fabri-Tac
Lace Trim
Felt sheet
foam sheet (can keep using felt sheets i just used foam because i had it)
Vintage lace/fabric trim
Pins



First step was applying fabric Tac to storage case and then placing it down on a quarter fabric of secret garden. I cut out the excess but left enough that it would fold over to hide my edges. I then placed felt on the inside of the case to cover all the foldeded edges again just applying glue to the case and laying down the felt. cutting the excess. (used cutter bee to cut close to the edge)

I then stapled a sheet of folded thin foam (one top and one bottom staple)to my case. (staples are TH very small and stapled to felt not actual case). once that was done I started applying different types of lace trim to get the look I was going for. Once the fabri tac was dry on one side I'd work on the other.

Here is my completed book. Happy Crafting!
