A creative eye knows that what looks old can be reborn to new life and what is apparently useless can be used, instead, to save us money and helping to lend a hand to the environment. That's why my house is likely a blast: I do not throw almost anything and confined spaces are now my life is in the midst of a creative chaos ...
We think the paper and paperboard are indispensable allies to create boxes and boxes useful for the packaging of our creations.
Here zompettando joyful here and there in the web I found two tutorials: the first better to recycle the magazines , especially those of the glossy magazine, useful for the other sheets of cardboard . The beauty is that once coated, we can customize them as we want.
example I have given to my box looks very "solid" as if it were cast using the technique of papier mache, just arm yourself with glue, brush and ... toilet paper! Make a mixture of water and glue (1 / 2 water, 1 / 2 glue) and brush box working separately the base and lid. Attach pieces of paper, then cover brushing glue, paper again ... so do many layers up to cover the entire surface. Do not worry about doing a regular job: the sharp edges of the paper once dry. will the box look "rustic" that make it pretty.
When you have finished the box will be steeped in water and you think "soggy" and inconsistent (and at that point I curse) but put it to dry thoroughly and you will see that result!
Now comes the fun part, decorating the box: ribbons, colors, buttons, stoffine, the solutions are endless ...
... and as I advanced the carton I made colorful bookmarks that on the back, I added my logo. I also use them as tags for my bags ... just give us a hole in the corner, what do you think?
Well, now it's up to you, sbizzarritevi ... and let me see the result of your work!
