Altered Foam Box

This is not my first, but my most recent project. Eventually I will post a collection of previous projects and ideas. My husband and I went on a date to the Amish Country in Indiana. The first stop was at a local shopping mall, Davis Mercantile and bought a few scrappy stuff. We walked around and had some dinner at the Das Dutchman Essenhaus Reataurant, they have the best home made pies ever! We had a strawberry-rhubarb pie. To close the evening we bought some wine from  a local winery, Fruit Hills Winery, I loved the "Noiret", "Two Shades of Red ", "Traminette" and "Make Me Blush" .
We came home with some leftover bread and I decided to alter the foam box:
First I painted the box with craftsmart acrylic paints


Then I covered the lid with scrap paper and modpoge
I inked and added some trim to the border, a handmade flower and a stickpin .


 Now I have a place to store my hand made flowers =)
This was a fun way to use all my scraps and bits of ribbon. My next project will be a similar one, using the same scraps.
Hope you liked it! See you soon
Jenny
