Treasure your Love

This Love treasure chest is a great place to keep those lovely nothings, and you will be sure that your sweetheart would always use this to store those little love-filled gifts in them.

Tip: Roll out the modelling meterial for the base and sides of the chest to about 5mm in thickness. If the meterial is rolled too thinly, the sides of the chest may collapse.

You will need:

Modelling Tool

Tall thick Glass

White drying meterial

Paintbrush

PVA Glue

Acrylic Paints

Chopping board

Ruler

Roll out the meterial. Cut out two sides and a base each 6cmX4cm (2.5in X 1.5in), and two more sides each 4cm X 4cm (1.5in X 1.5in). Cut a strip 8cm (3in) long for the lid strap.

Score around the sides of the base with the modelling tool. Position the first side and smooth the inside join. Position the remaining sides and smooth the inside joints.

When all the sides are in place, smooth the outside edges with the tool. Use the point of the tool to make dots in the modelling meterial to create the effect of studs.
