Decorated boxes

My husband's niece asked for earrings for her birthday. We found some delightful little butterfly earrings, but the card they were attached to wasn't very special. So I decorated a box, added some tissue paper and now she has an earring keeper box.
These are small papier mache boxes covered with texture paste. I have then added some petals from a silk flower, and topped the decoration off with a plaster fairy. Once everything had dried, I painted the whole box and decoration in a base coat, and then lightly brushed on two further colours to give a bright and shiny appearance.
Another hit!
