Birthday...
How I love thee... Let me count the ways...
Today I am so excited to share a project I made...
A Paper Mache Heart Box... For a Birthday...
I usually share cards that I have made...
But I really do make many other things...
And today is the day I get to share
an adorable creation...
I made this adorable heart box...
It is from Pinque Peacock.
They carry an amazing range of awesome items.
From hand made flowers, felt poppers,
paper mache boxes, books, hearts & shapes,
pins, embossing folders and so many other things...
I just LOVE to order my supplies from
Pinque Peacock...
Today my project is a Paper Mache Heart Box...
I wanted my Heart Box to look just like a cake...
I used:
Pink Metallic Paint by Apple Barrel
Signo
I painted the Paper Mache Heart Box with Metallic Pink Paint.
Covered the inside, outside, top & bottom with my paper.
With the Ice White Pearl Pen I decorated around the bottom edge of box (pictured here)...
This is the lid of box. I also used the Ice White Pearl Pen to add 3 rows to give the look of icing...
Side view of lid. Here you see 3 rows of pearls to make icing effect.
The Paper Mache Heart Box is so easy to paint & decorate.
It is sturdy and held up extremely well to 2 coats of paint, glue and the pearl pen...
My Adorable Heart Box...
The Paper Mache Heart Box is complete...
I added a large Felt Popper (in white)...
2 Fabric Poppers and 3 Flat Back Fabric Covered Buttons in pink...
I added the wooden heart that I sprayed to make it pink.

I really enjoyed working with the paper mache heart box.
I must say I am surprised at how it easy it was to create with it.
The paper mache is sturdy and handles very well.
It is an awesome find at a fantastic price.
