Decoupage Project Ideas
Boxes provide interesting results when done with decoupage. A variety of boxes are available in craft stores. A box should be given two or three thin coats of an oil based paint as a base and at least three coats of varnish to finish. The final coat can be rubbed with dampened emery cloth for a fine, soft, matte finish.  When lining a box with fabric, put the seam at the front of the box. When the box is opened, you can see the back "wall" of the box but not the front one where the seam is.  If lining a box without overlapping the fabric onto a piece of cardboard, glue the pieces of fabric on to the sides and then glue decorative braid along the top edge to hide the raw edge.......read more

Wedding Favour Gift Box ideas
Your wedding is your very special day. As such, you want everything to look magnificent, and the wedding favours are certainly no exception. Rather than just putting them on the tables for the reception, you want them in wedding favour gift boxes. However, you are unsure of what wedding favour gift boxes you want, so you need some wedding favour gift box ideas.  The first things that you should consider before you select a wedding favour gift box are the sizes of the guest tables at the reception, as well as how those tables are decorated.

Project:  Creating Beautiful soap scrolls
Firstly I am going to teach you to roll a basic soap scroll and then we will move on to some more exciting scrolls like glitter scrolls and newspaper rolls.  We start by melting our soap. Place any one of your soaps (except the white, save that for later) in a small glass or plastic jug and melt in the microwave for 1 minute or till melted. Do not overdo the melting because if the soap overheats and boils it loses its transparency and becomes murky. It also loses its elasticity and snaps when you try to roll it. So it is very important that you melt your soap slowly ......read more
