If You Go Down to the Woods Today....

.... Look Out for a Crafty Creatives Craft Tea Time Creation!

So having sat and looked at the beautiful goodies in box again and again, I remembered my  box picture frame, which I've been wondering what to do with for a while now. I love all the beads in the box, but I wanted to try and do something a little less obvious than simply make some jewellery from them, and then inspiration struck- I'd make something for my box frame!!

The standard insert to the frame happened to be trees anyway, and after a discussion my boyfriend he thought it would be more interesting to leave the size and details on the background- the idea being people would think it was empty and then on closer inspection discover the contents.

From CC Box 7 I used;

Flower Soft
The felting kit
A mushroom bead
A fox bead
An owl cut from the fabric
Some of the buttons
A birch heart
I also used the wire holding the foxes together to make the flowers.

I added some of the flower soft to the tree pictures on the insert to give an autumn feel to the picture.







I felted different shades of wool to make some grass. I used the wire holding the foxes together to make some flowers by covering the tips in glue and then rolling in flower soft. I cut an owl from the fabric to perch on a branch, and then used a strong glue to fix the mushroom and fox in place. As a finishing touch I sprinkled a little of the flower soft on the felt to give the autumn feel of fallen leaves.

Finally I added some of the buttons and a heart to the outside using a strong glue.

And there you have it, CC box 7 in a box (frame)!
