DIY Bible Case

Create a one of a kind DIY Bible Case from Dawn Lotharius for you or someone you love.  With only a few materials and a couple of easy steps, you can make your very own box to protect your most cherished possession.  This is a lovely craft that makes a great gift for a christening, baptism, or even a new baby. 

Materials:

• Image of your choice
• Paper machet box
• Paint
• Paint brushes and sponges
• Distress Inks
• Various embellishments

Instructions:

1. I started with a Paper Mache box-these can be purchased at many craft stores.
    
2. I used Creative Inspirations paint in two shades of green; green olive and sage worked great together.  Gold was sponged around the edges.
    
3. After printing the image and tearing all around the edges, I chose to use distress inks to age it all.
    
4. The leaves are a die from Sweet Stamps/Cheery Lynn. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
