DIY Home Decor Box with a Shaker Top
Tis the season to set aside time to create. As busy as the season can get, do not forget to set aside time for you. Time to make gifts, a card, home decor or whatever, but carve out some YOU time.
I took my own advice and made a decorative box for candy. It's been decorated using a combination of chipboard snowflakes from Creative Embellishments, and 3D Buttons from Buttons Galore and More and papers form Maja Design in Sweden.
I created a home decor decorated box to fill with candy or a small gift. This box is unique in that the lid has a beautiful shaker resting on top. The coordinating patterns in the Maja Design collections are always perfect for fabulous layered projects.
I've added a vintage shaped Snowflake Shaker Set from Creative Embellishments snowflake shaker from Creative Embellishments to the top of the box that completes the frosty winter theme of the box. The wonderful thing about shaker sets from Creative Embellishments is that every chipboard shaker set comes with a piece of perfectly cut acrylic to complete the shaker. When creating a shaker, the acrylic is always the most stressful part for me and CE has taken that stress element out of "the mix". LOL, excuse the pun.
I dabbed white acrylic paint on the chipboard pieces to give a nice vintage look, but did not totally paint the pieces.
The shaker then was filled with fun and sparkly shaker mix from Buttons Galore - Sparkletz December Dream - a perfect frosty filler.

I made this project using the new Maja Design - Holiday in the Alps paper collection. This is such a gorgeous collection to see up close, with amazing patterns, rich reds and frosty blues as you can see from the image below:
The front of the box was embellished with a combination of chipboard snowflakes and adorable 3D buttons from Buttons Galore . In addition to fun shaker mixes and sequin blends, Buttons Galore and More also has the sweetest 3D buttons which make for perfect toppers and finishing touches for projects, cards and home decor.
The 3D buttons - Winter Woolies Hat/Mitten Set just happen to match perfectly with the Maja Design paper collection I am using.
