Project Sheet 1090

Instructions:
Step 1. Open plastic box so it is flat. (I turned mine inside out so that the smooth side would now be inked and on the inside.)

Step 2. Apply alcohol ink to smooth side of plastic. Use blending solution first on the felt before adding Denim, Stonewashed and Stream inks. Follow directions and use a swirling motion to apply the ink (try to avoid inking the tabs).

Step 3. Cut a strip of white glossy cardstock 2” wide and another ¾” wide. Length will be determined by size of your container and you will need enough ¾” to wrap around entire container (you may need to cut separate pieces).

Step 4. Apply alcohol ink to white glossy cardstock. This time do not use any blending liquid and only use Stonewashed and Stream Inks.

Step 5. Cut a strip of black cardstock 1¾” wide and another ½ “wide. Length will be determined by size of your container and you will need enough ½” to wrap around entire container (you may need to cut separate pieces)

Step 6. Glue wire swirls to the ½” black cardstock strip (for front only) using Glossy Accents. Set aside to dry.

Step 7. Adhere wire Cruise Ship to 1¾” black cardstock using the wire pieces included in the package. Do so by making tiny holes through cardstock with needle tool or pin (place on foam cushion to do this) in several places. Make horseshoe shapes with the matching wire. Insert these horseshoe shapes through the tiny holes around shape and secure by flattening open on the back of the cardstock (like a brad).

Step 8. Apply all black cardstock strips to inked glossy 2” cardstock with SuperTape.

Step 9. Fill in holes on the wire Cruise Ship with Glossy Accents and allow to dry.

Step 10. Apply glitter “Cruise” letters to the black wired cardstock piece.

Step 11. Attach 3 eyelets below “Cruise” and insert 3 pieces of silver ribbon 2½” each in length, folded in ½.

Step 12. Apply very small pieces of adhesive under the silver ribbon on the front to keep it in place.

Step 13. Apply SuperTape to the back of all of the pieces and adhere to the plastic box.

Step 14. Outline top flap of box with Silver Leafing Pen.
