Butterfly Geli-print-paper, paint box cover

 

Evening Crafty People! Gosh, I've missed posting for ...days!! Well. I needed to 'tidy' up....(it didn't happen) Today I've been covering one of my boxes that I keep my acrylic paints in. I sometimes use tissue paper but today I used one of my kinda geli prints with added bits and stamped with butterflies. Usually they hold fruit, (that's the box, not the butterflies) this one had bird treats in it. I made one paper brownish-orange and the other a more yellowy in colour. (**I think I've added it here somewhere as an always freebie) **See next post. Then, because I knew there wouldn't be enough to cover the box,  I scanned them, printed them out and then covered the box. Simples.

In the picture, you can see there's 'bands' going cross and along, to help hold the tubes of paint in place. My other box in the background hasn't got them and the paints are always falling over.... Now, the bands? What do you think they are made from? You'll never guess... well, maybe you might... Tights! Yep. Tights... (or stockings if you'd rather) small bands cut at the toes and larger bands at the thigh/top! Last much longer than rubber bands. And they're kinder. I use them for almost everything! Right, I've had a look out the back...and we're right out of parrots..oops, wrong script... I mean... I couldn't find that I'd added these papers as freebies anywhere... so, in the next post. I will add them... they might come in handy for something! As you can see in the picture...my wheelbarrow awaits me! My garden bin needs filling up. So, that's it for now. Wednesday's freebie is already done, so watch out for that on Wednesday!! (If I go on like this, I'll meet myself coming back!) Thank you for stopping by! :)
