Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Pringle Tub ...

Hi Everybody,

As promised earlier this week here is the tutorial to alter those Pringles tubs you have all been collecting

This is the one I made for Isabella and I filled it with chocolate coins for her ... and she loved it.

So here are the instructions for the
Altered Art Treasure Box

In the video I decided to go for a different color scheme and decided on Lilac.

And I lined the box too for an extra special touch.

You may notice some differences between the finished box in the video and the one pictured here.

That is because I couldn't leave things alone and had to add in more finishing touches before I was happy.

So now it is time for you to get out all those tubs you have been saving and start making them really pretty.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

I have added the video to a  page on my website ...  Card Making Magic so you will need to click the link at the top of the page to view the tutorial

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  9. It always amazes me what can be done with leftover canisters..
    This turned out really nice...I have an canister and I'm going to give a try.
    I'm always losing my crafting glasses so this would be perfect I would be them in before I leave the craft room
    Well done Christina and thanks for the video

  18. Hi Christina
    What an ingenious idea in recycling something that would be thrown away in the bin...
    Your 2 samples look so pretty & I'm just gonna leap to your Card Making Magic site to watch the video & I'll be having a go at creating one of these..
    Will have to go buy some first & empty the tub out & eat them later....
    Love all your cards that you make Christina, they're always so pretty & Beautiful...

    Crafty Hugs
