La Costumière 2020 Part 2

 La Costumière 2020 Part 2

On to the Exterior 

White Wash

 

Rather than covering the Middle section I decided to Paint. I did this in White using a small brush. The idea was that using a small brush the strokes in the Paint would mimic the Edge of the Pages since the Box was designed as a Book.

Thin Felt

 

I examined the Exterior Felt. The Lid was fine but the rest was not as it had gone thin. I was going to have to recover the rest of the Box in new material.

White Felt

 

I Cut and Glued some White Felt down the Spine of the Book shaped Box.

Navy Felt

 

I had used a lighter Blue Felt on the Interior as I was short on material. However I wanted Navy on the Exterior which was more in keeping with the Tricolour French Flag.

Glue or Sew

 

I now had some tidying to do. I trimmed the White Felt on the Interior of the Box and gave it another touch of White Paint on the Edges. 

I wanted to add some Ribbon. I tried Gluing the Ends but the Ribbon was too Silky and therefore had to Sew it instead.
