Storage box is what we all need. you can easily find them anywhere, but I think they look so dull! I made this one myself, from an old cardboard box I had lying around, some white paint, some rope, glue and paper. What I did was that I just glued my cardboard pieces together (with my glue gun), then I cut out some paper pieces in to squares. I found some in a magazine, i was aiming for green, white and gray colours. After I glued on all the paper pieces, I draw some rose and floral motives, and then cut them out for using as stencils. I used normal white paint (just random pain i found in the cellar) and used my stencil brush and dotted on some rose patterns on the box. after that I just randomly dotted on some white colour to make it look a bit more vintage and shabby. Then I wrapped some rope around it to make it look a bit more like a gift box, glued on a heart jewelry and thats it. Doesn't it look shabby chic. So simple! It really looks like the box is made of wood!

I CAN DO ALL MY SELF!
I have totally changed my way of thinking. If I go out shopping and I see something that I defo need or want, I always think if maybe I can do it myself. Like for an example, yday I saw there killer shoes, with glitter and a big ass bow in the front. I decided OH NO I'm not gonna buy them. So today I'm on a new mission. I'm gonna totally re do my old pair of high heels, get some glitter, glue and sew a bow out of some fancy material. And then the shoes should look something like them I saw yday, right? The shoes are gonna look a bit like them ones Judy Garland is wearing in The wizard of oz. SO OVER THE TOP but that's the way it goes for miss Carla! I'll show you guys later, if its not a fail of course.
