Molly's Hat Box

Today is Molly's birthday. Molly is the firecracker that my daughter works with. Together with another girl, they are also house-mates. She is a darling girl and loves all things pretty and girly! So, I made a frilly hat box for her to keep her treasures in.

I first printed out some old French documents, letters, and pictures from Graphics Fairy. Next I tea-dyed them. In this picture you can see them drying in my bathroom and dripping tea all over the bath tub.

 I covered the box with the box with theses papers and "decoupaged" them all smooth and shiny. I finished the inside with pretty ribbon, and more labels.

Next I made some Coffee Filter Roses from a great tutorial from The White Bench.

They were glued on top with pearls, lace and tea-dyed velvet ribbon.

And finally the finished box:

Happy Birthday Molly!
