Thrift Store Book Box and key fob

From a 50 cent thrift store book I made this treasure box. The layered flower is made from QK flower and scallop circle dies. The lid stays shut with a Basic Grey magnetic closure hidden under the paper.



These goodies inside are actually just stickers and bling.


I also made this key ring to include inside the box. Not bad I guess for a first attempt.

  1. Amazing flower!!! Love how you made the keychain too :) Do you glue all the pages together, and if so, how?

  2. Thanks Jayma! Pages are all glued together with diluted white glue/water mixture and painted with a foam brush. Very easy to do.
