How to Make a Gold Leaf Trinket Box


The reason for this gold leaf painted trinket box provides texture and elegance ... guess nobody will really leaves are formed from glue and gold paint!

What you need:

* Paper mache boxes
* 4 large beads
* Makeup Sponge
* Hot glue or household glue
* Paint (Black & Gold)
* Sealant mate

Gold Leaf Trinket Box:
Project Instructions:

First, the painting of his four gold balls and set aside to dry.

Paint the entire box, inside and out, in black paint and let dry completely.

Draw a leaf pattern on the box using hot glue, glue, carpenter's glue or glue other than accept the paint when it dries. Draw leaves the whole picture, and around the top of the box. Connect the leaf stems or vines, also made with glue.

You can also place small groups of three points around, but do not overdo this feature. Let dry.

Dip the makeup sponge in gold paint and pat out so the sponge is wet with paint, but not wet. Pat the leaves from the stalks, vines, and clusters of points. Let dry.

Sprinkle the table with a light coat of matte sealer.

Glue three gold accounts painted on the bottom, equally spaced, so it makes you feel good. Paste the last pearl on the top - you can cover the hole of the ball, if you will, by pasting a grain of seed or something similar.

Optional: Line the inside of the trinket box with felt, fabric or pretty paper.
