'Antique' Heartboxes

Charming & Sweet

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/antique-heartboxes • Posted by Liantasse

I bought a set of MÅLA heart-shaped boxes from IKEA and decorated them with pages from an old Gothic-script book, and bits of lace and ribbon. I 'painted' the parts not covered by the printed paper with black tea, to give them an antique-looking finish that would match the old book pages.
