Wizard of oz treasure chest
11/17/2011 10:29:00 amI had a lot of fun making my latest project of the treasure chest. I saw a design of it at the Sincerely Yours craft show in Taunton. All I used was a plain treasure chest, two sheets from Graphic 45's The magic of oz collection, ideo-ology film strip ribbon and two adage tickets, a strip of red ribbon, a strip of bronze tinsel ribbon, a length of chain and distress inks.
I distressed the box using old paper, weathered wood and peeled paint to give it a old wooded effect. I cut out the 3x3 square on one of the 12x12 sheets that had all the characters and stuck that down slightly angled. From the other 12x12 sheet I cut out the wizard of oz playing card and stuck that along with the two adage tickets on the front panel.
After cutting all the way around the box I went over with the old paper distress ink over the whole paper and highlighted the edges. To stick the idea-ology film strip on I nailed it in place because I had ran out of glue and I had nothing else to stick it on with but I think it gives it a little edge to it. On the sides I attached the tinsel ribbon and chain and let them hang around the corner to make all the corner flow with each other. I tied the red ribbon in a bow and stuck it on top. I decided to stick the ends of the bow down as they kept just hanging off the edge and it did not look nice.
On the inside I cut down a piece of 12x12 paper to fit on the inside and stuck it down with DST. I cut out another playing card and the characters and attached them to the inside. I distressed the edges of the box with the old paper to try and darken the wood.
