Mulberry & Lutradur Box

Use an old shadow box to create a Mulberry & Lutradur Box from Lisa Fulmer. This recycled craft is cheap and easy to create.


 

Materials:

•  Blank board shadow box
• Spraywash paints
• Mulberry tissue
• Lutradur
• Matte gel
• Alcohol inks
• Black Paint marker
• Mandala transfers
• Embellishments

Directions:

1. This is a blank board shadow box that I collaged and painted, then stashed Christmas goodies inside for my mother.
    
2. First i spritzed it inside and out with a combination of burgundy and gold spraywash paints.
    
3. Once it was dry, I collaged the lid with 3 colors of torn mulberry tissue and painted strips of lutradur, sealed with matte gel medium.
    
4. I love how the mulberry tissue colors just melt and blend together with the medium.
    
5. I added a domino I painted with alcohol inks to the lid as an embellishment, and lined the sides with a black paint marker.
    
6. Inside I added bits of mandala transfers.
