WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT SEPTEMBER!!!
Today I am going to alter a couple of containers using Ceiling Tiles.
Altered Pages Ceiling Tiles make great a great wrap or cover for a small box. They are 6 x 6" embossed heavy paper ceiling tiles. Ready for you to paint, cut, stamp or alter. Glue them to containers, using double side adhesive tapes and glues.
A few items I have in a bin I keep to alter...
they are all great for gift giving!
Today I have a Laughing Cow container and a cylinder container to alter. Remove any labels (barcodes, tape, etc.) Paint containers with white gesso. Set aside to dry.
Measure and cut the ceiling tiles to fit your container/s. Gently apply the ink directly from the pad to the ceiling tile, be careful to ink only the raised embossing of the tiles. The paper tile absorbs the ink like a sponge!
When the gesso has dried, attach washi tape to the containers. Adhere the ceiling tiles with Tacky Glue.
To finished the Laughing Cow box add a string of beads around the edge of the ceiling tile. Use a black marker to make a line around the edge of the container. This would make a great box for giving jewelry, a gift card or any small object.
It just so happened that two ceiling tiles wrapped around this container perfectly! Washi Tape was added to the top and bottom of the container (the ceiling tiles were not going to cover the container totally). Then adhere the ceiling tiles with Tacky Glue, embellish with black lace.

IT'S A WRAP
What a terrific idea! I have several of these tiles that purchased from Altered Pages, but I've never used them, because I didn't want to "cover them up" in collages or in mixed media work. You've inspired me to use them AS the decorative portion of a piece, and not just a background. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have several containers I need to do something with. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS ideas. Ucycling fun!
ReplyDeleteI love using those Laughing Cow cheese containers, too. That ceiling tile fits perfectly. Thanks for the fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteLyneen these look like a wonderful product to use to alter a tin as a gift. The embossed textured highlighted with color is fabulous! Looking forward to seeing what everyone has instore for us this month. xx
