So its that time of the year when we have Secret Santa in office and we have to surprise our child with a gift.
My better half picked a chit for the game in his and found that it was a lady whom he had to surprise and what better way to please a girl than gifting her a Jewelry Box!
Well to start with, my better half is in the true sense better at almost everything than I am. The artisan than he is makes most of my craft work a lot more easier. After seeing his skills at helping me with the craft I even joked that he would be better off building bridges and buildings than software. 3 cheers to the awesome sweetheart that he is :)
Over to the project - Its a mini Jewelery Box (totally inspired by Tara's Craft Studio) which folds into a Almirah and has 4 drawers attached to it. It also has a pseudo "mirror" for the lady to adorn herself while dressing up!
I covered the back support of the Jewelery box with beautiful embossed Pink and White papers. The Almirah closes over with a intricately cut piece of heavy card stock. Then there are the ribbons of course which hold the box uptight. The Almirah itselh has a cover which is adorned lavishly with pearls and laces.
It open up to the view of 4 drawers which are very sturdy and can be actually used to store jewelery. The are also piped with intricate lace and ping pearls which seem to the user as knobs. I have kept the inside of the box plain as the pattern paper itself is too pretty to disrupt. I added a pseudo mirror just to give it some show :)
And since it was Christmas, the recipient got it filled with sweets in a hand decorated bag!
Hope you all liked it!
