La Costumière 2020 Part 3

 La Costumière 2020 Part 3

This is the final Part of La Costumière.

Glue Interior

I like to keep my finished projects as tidy as possible. Therefore I am Gluing Ribbon over messy areas. I started by doing the Interior.

Glue Half

The Exterior was more difficult to add Ribbon to as it had to Fold over a Corner. I decided therefore to Glue it in two sections. First I Glued the Ribbon upright then once it was dry I Glued the second Half and weighted it so it wouldn’t flip upright again.

Glitter Up

 

Once the Ribbon was dry I added a touch of Sparkle with some Gold Glitter.

Double Glitter

 

I then proceeded to Glitter the other Ribbons. I decided on Gold as it matched the Edge of the Ribbon.

In Case

 

Here is the Box in my Bookcase to show how it will look. Now all it needs is wrapping ready for Christmas.

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.
