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! 🙂

Altered Make-up Brush Holder

There’s a fun and practical application of papercrafting: altering useful objects!

So I went ahead and altered this pen holder, which I then filled not with pens but with my growing number of make-up brushes!

Papers & die-cuts are from the Summer at the Beach collection by Studiolight. It looks fantastic in my white & wood beach-themed bathroom! 🙂
