Hope Chest (For Sale)





Here’s a look at a fun project where I altered a box shaped like a hope chest. The inside was already lined with brown velvet so I altered the outside. I started by painting the edges brown and then using Tenseconds Studio Copper paint to give it an aged look. I sell Tenseconds Studio products in my ArtFire store (Link Below). Using Lyric paper from Prima to cover the rest of the box. I added antique laces, flowers, gems and fun metal elements to finish it. 
Check out my video on Youtube to see more of this projected. Also this chest can be found for sale in my ArtFire store.
Thank you for coming by my blog. Join me on Facebook as well (links below).
Hugs, Laurie

I am just breathless....this chest is Beautiful. Where did you find such a box. I made a minibook for a teachet, a pirate mini , and needed a chest to store it inside..since it was never found or too expensive, i build my very own . This is just wow . Great job.
