Want to get even more excited for Bohemian Bazaar? Here are some gorgeous ideas from Diane's workshop! It was created by Diane and Connie! Behold this beautiful Bohemian Bazaar altered box and card! The bright and cheerful colors are just perfect for summer crafts and cards for all occasions! Wow!
This project was really fun because the box is made of older indonesian teakwood. One of the things that make altered art with Graphic 45 papers interesting is finding unusual pieces like this to cover. Almost anything can be altered with paper! Look around the house, you probably have many objects that could easily be transformed into a work of art. Look for pieces with flat, smooth surfaces. This box was a piece that Diane bought on one of her treasure hunts. It had everything an altered art project could hope for...drawers, secret compartments, doors, and a flip up picture frame! There were a few things done to prep the box. It had been a dark color, so it was painted a nice vanilla that complemented the latest Graphic 45 Bohemian papers. The color is an ‘Americana’ acrylic paint called Bleached Sand. You can find it at any craft store that sells this brand. After painting let dry for 24 hours so adhesive will bond. The hardware on the drawers were replaced with Graphic 45 drawer pulls. Just changing the hardware or adding hardware where there wasn’t any can make such a difference!
