1-sheet Project: Altered Pencil Organizer

It’s been a while since I showed you an altered box, so here we are 🙂

This time it’s a wooden pencil box I found in an art supply store, in which you could of course keep all kinds of memorabilia, ephemera, or paper scraps as well.

I altered it with a double-sided sheet from Stamperia’s Rose collection, and I always find it amazing that I often only need 1 sheet to alter an entire box! For other examples I can refer you to my Romantic Drawers box and to my cute little Christmas treasure chest, the latter of which I altered with 1 sheet of only 8×8 inches.

If you’ve never altered a box before and don’t know where to start, I’ve done several free video tutorials. You could start here and here.

Meanwhile, if you need some inspiration first, watch today’s video! 🙂

Antique Bazaar Altered Desk Organizer

I found a great wooden desk organizer in one of our home decor stores, and I bought it to alter it. It was already painted white so I chose Kaisercraft’s Antique Bazaar, a collection that would go well with the white wood of the organizer.

The rounded shape of the organizer’s compartments presented a special challenge, especially on the insides and with the split compartment on the left – for which I had to create a very specially shaped mat:
