Kaisercraft Trinket Box – 2 ways…

To echo Pam’s earlier sentiments, Kaisercraft really do make the most beautiful AND versatile Beyond the Page items  that can be adapted and modified to suit any creative purpose.  I know I’ve been guilty of totally altering the intended purpose of many  BTP items, but that’s half of the creative fun!

Today Christine and I have both decorated a  gorgeous little trinket box.  Initially I thought I’d use the Hey Birdie collection and decorate this for my daughter, but as I started decorating it, I decided it would look really lovely in my scrap room on my desk instead ……(good Mum, I know…)

I kept the design very simple and decided to use lots of diferent patterned paper strips to cover the box.  I’ve left space to add a title if need be, but I haven’t settled upon a purpose just yet. Christine covered her trinket box using the Jungle Bug collection for her son.  Here’s what she had to say…….

“My son is often rather envious of his big sister’s collection of jewellery boxes for hiding her treasures, so I decided to decorate the trinket box for him. He is such a typical boy and loves collecting things outside. He’s already filled his box with acorns! Like Nikki, I also kept the design really simple and I made sure that all the papers and the ribbon cord were all sewn or stuck down firmly, otherwise Will would probably pull it all off! I mixed a bit of Black Kaisercolor paint in with some Mud Puddle paint to create a brown that matched the papers. ”
