Steampunk or Vintage?
I wanted to try out a new idea for a crafting technique using foam to create shaped layers on an object.
In this case I used a simple jewellery box and, inspired by steampunk examples online, tried to give it a vintage/steampunk look.
This is what happend :
|
This is the original simple jewellery box I used.
(€ 1,99 @ Action) |
|
I bought the cheapest foam I could find to cut out pieces and glued it onto the box. (€ 0,99 for 16 pieces @ Zeeman) |
|
Unfortunatly I forgot to make pictures of the process untill my husband spray-painted the whole box in a dark-red colour for me.
|
|
The back of the box. |
|
The side of the box. |
|
The top of the box. |
|
using the Scorched Brown Citadel paint. |
|
First I dry-painted the lower layer , |
|
After that I dry-painted the top layer in the Dwarven Bronze Citadel paint. |
|
The top of the box. |
|
The back of the box. |
|
The inside of the box. |
|
I finished of the bottom of the box with some light beige velvet. |
|
As a finishing touch I glued a "spider-web" on the front of the box,
also dry-painted in Dwarven Bronze. |
I don't know if you could really call this Steampunk or even Vintage.
I guess we can just call it Dee's Style!
Whatever you call it, I'm very pleased with the result and I can't wait to give it a nice spot in my new crafting-room!
Looking good!
