Altered Trinket Box for LESSology

Yesterday night, I wanted to play with my last month kit the Echo Park papers or this month kit Pink Paislee Nantucket but...upon opening the boxes I immediately changed my plan...I straight away took a cigar box that I have collected many many months ago and altered the box a little bit...

I did not use any patterned papers - I only used laces, poms poms, some tussle, spools, fur balls, bottle caps and a lots of buttons.  Thanks to Yvonne Yam, Amelia and Marina for the inspiration as they have done a stupendous "altered trinket boxes" and my eyes are wide awake looking at their boxes.

Here is mine...

Look how crazy I am, I put loads of buttons on top of the box and it is so colourful

 the blue poms poms kind of not matching...well who cares, it is an art







aha...I put my ATCs for my swap buddies this Saturday :)

 I used bottle caps as feet of this box

 
 can you see the bottle caps?





 this is the original cigar box


Since the colour of the box is so bright with those cigar papers, I decided not to put any paint and papers. Seeing those buttons, it reminds me of one incident - where my girl ended up in the ER in the middle of the night, screaming and the rest is history.  This box will be going to LESSology challenge.  Thank you for looking and I have a card, a canvas project and a layout to reveal.  Till next time see you again in my next entry.
