Altering a Vintage Glove box



Occasionally I am lucky enough to find a vintage glove box of course I can never leave well enough alone!


I always have to do  a little work on it.  So often the inside has seen it's age.


I laid my favorite fabric on the copier and pressed copy, that gave me a sheet of beautiful floral paper


I then chose a graphic from Graphics Fairy and reloaded my now floral paper into the printer and printed the graphics onto my floral paper


I Mod Podged the paper onto the box and added a shabby flower made from the matching fabric



And there you have it


Why is it when we start taking pictures the cats come buzzing around like bees......Look a tail hanging into the top of the picture.


Martin was sitting on the back of the chair, I cropped his tail out of the other pictures


Here is the whole behind the scenes look, Billie is up on the fireplace, she never goes there unless I'm taking pictures.  I was taking pictures on the chair because it was the best light in front of the windows.


OK, so where was I.....Oh, I found some vintage gloves and did a little dressing up of them also. 


 I thought they would look cute in the box when I put it in my booth at Orange Tree


I also found this lime green box and added a little bling.  I am not sure what this box was used for? 


If you were really observant you noticed this box was filled with something back on the picture with the cats.....Well stay tuned that is my next post.

Hope this helped give you a couple ideas
