Description

I bought a new sewing/craft box that looked a bit boring, so thought I'd use the pictures from a Klimt calender I couldn't bear to throw out.

Instructions

  1. Paste the whole box with gold tissue paper glued with pva (make sure glue dries clear and not white). Use the brush to smooth out paper.

  2. Cut out your favourite pictures/parts of pictures and glue over the top of the tissue paper in the same way.

  3. Allow to dry and varnish with a clear glossy varnish to protect the pictures and create a nice lacquered finish.
