What you will need (besides your usual scrappin" supplies):
-A gum box....I like the Orbitz brand, but I am checking out some of the others. "React" looks like it's going to work. "Stride" is going to work, it will be a bit more challenging... it's got a double pocket!
-Gesso or acrylic paint. I gesso the outside (especially the edges) to cover up the the packaging color. You can do this ahead of time so that it will be dry. You can gently "unassemble" the gum box to lay flat to paint.
-Paper and card stock to cover the box and for the tag inserts...use up your scraps!!
-Your favorite glue and adhesives
-A length of this ribbon or cord and an optional split key ring
-Any fun embellishments...they can't be too thick!

Cute idea! I have my sons CD release party tonight, but I'll watch the video later. You're such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteNow that's cute! Will have to raid The Boy's car (it's a rubbish bin in it's own right!) There's bound to be a couple in there! *lol*
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! I can actually make it tonight!!! I've been admirer of yours for a few weeks now and am catching up all your recorded shows on UStream but have managed to miss all the live ones.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! So excited!!!

These are sooooo cute! It's my daughter prom night, but I'm going to try hard to be in jammies and in front of the computer for this class tonight :)
ReplyDeleteLaura, ok...will have to go out and get my gum box! See you then!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Laura ... for those in Canada, Excel Mist is the same as the Orbit Mist. In fact if you look at the Orbit box you will see that it is Made in Canada for the Wrigley's company that puts out Orbit gum in the US ... can't wait to join you tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Dianal!!!

Your project is gorgeous and so creative! I can't be there tonight, but hopefully your video will be available to watch later.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I will be recording the show for those who can't join us live!

ReplyDeleteLove it Laura!!
