Dixie Belle Treasure Box

Have you enjoyed all the great projects the Altered Pages design team has this month with Dixie Belle Paints?  I have... can't wait to see what they have in store for the last week of the month!

 

This month I have been on a roll!!!  For some reason the sea is calling me and all of my projects have had a seas theme.  Here we are today with a sea themed little treasure box.

 

 

I love the coverage of the Dixie Belle Paint on plain wood.  I only put one coat of paint on this box!




Supplies:
Dixie Belle Paint - Sea Glass
Dixie Belle Glaze - Van Dyke
Dixie Belle Clear Coat
Wooden box 3 x 3 inches
Burlap
Tacky Glue
Gold Leafing
Charms
Dew Drops
Shells
Sea Stars

 

 

Paint wooden box with Dixie Belle Paint - Sea Glass,

set aside to dry!

 

Careful not to paint the hardware!

 

I painted the box inside and out to give it a finished look!

 

Once dry apply a thin coat of Dixie Belle Glaze - Van Dyke,

wipe off any excess, let dry.

 

 

Cut a piece of Burlap the width and length of the top of the sides  wooden box lid, adhere with a liberal amount of  Dixie Belle Clear Coat.  Since this box is 3x3 inches. I cut 13 inches of burlap, I had an inch over lap in the back. Let dry.

With Tacky Glue apply bits of Gold Leafing, let set, them apply a light layer of Dixie Belle Clear Coat. 

 

 

Now embellish with Charms, Dew Drops, Shells and Sea Stars.

 

 

I takes a good day for all the glue and Clear Coat to dry. 

Once dry, your box can be used for gift giving or home décor!
