OMG! That is so beautiful and it went so fast. Have you considered doing an online class? I would definitely pay for a guided tutorial on how to make this! Thanks for all you contribute to beautifying our crafting world!
Love this project!! I am going to attempt to alter my first box tomorrow. Right after I run to Michaels to pick up Gesso, and some of the other adhesives you used. Thanks for sharing!!
Wow!! Really pretty!! I'm planning to make a Day planner! I'm new at this, and this is going to be my first project! It looks like you'd be the person to ask. I wanted to know what will be the best product for me to use? I plan to use paper, photos, stamps and stickers for the cover.(Nothing 3D really!) I need this to be more durable for daily use! What's the best adhesive for me? MOD PODGE maybe? To seal everything down. Also the planner has a cardboard cover if that makes any difference!
you have a wonderful and beautiful talent!! who knew so much could come from just a simple wooden box! isnt it amazing what paper can do to transform something so simple as wood?? :) GREAT job!!
That was Amazing!!!! I really needed to see a complete vid like this too, I always question the steps it takes to get through a project....but this helps me so much!
absolutely stunning. I love making things like this, but then they end up so pretty that I want to keep them all instead of selling or giving them as prezzies
Amazing work Arlene! You've definately given me inspiration for the paper mache hat boxes I picked up. I am going to alter them with the Tim Holtz Lost & Found papers. TFS! :)

I am a new subscriber to your videos - and this one certainly doesn't disappoint! Thank you so much for sharing your talent...oh, and your love of Twilight...with the rest of us! :)
so talented - than you for sharing. I do have a question - why and what with do you sand the edges after you put the paper on the box and on the mini pages?
@mrsnicol2009 Hi Tammy. I used a Tim Holtz sanding block to smooth down the edges of the paper... I don't like the harsh edges especially if I need to distress them with ink or a paint dabber. TFW! :-)
Arlene, I went to a garage sale today. I got 53 all wood cigar boxes, different sizes and shapes. They almost all have hinges and clasps. I only paid 15cents a box!!!! I'm thinking of making them for a craft sale. One sewing theme, maybe kitchen theme. What do you think? Was it a good buy? will they sell? Should I put mini's in some?
wow this is awesome!! so well done and put together :) You have some great ideas Arlene. I appreciate you and your videos thanks so much for sharing!! I'm thinking of doing something like this. Also I love those Prima Decal you put on the front I just grabbed 3 colors of them in at A.C. Moore today :D
Ok, GOT to find this paper before it is all gone!!! Cute box, fun project and great ideas. You have amazed us once again girlfriend. Keep up this inspiration! Just know that you are getting many of us who have NEVER even thought of scrapbooking into this media from all different directions. I was just a card maker/mixed media artist and now I cannot get enough of your videos!!!
amazing video. great project. wonderfully made. missed your voice, but the music was inspiring as is the project. Love the new graphic 45 paper. TFS the whole process
Adorable box. I love the fast forward for getting it done instead of being so long; however there were a few times I wish you could slow down some so I could see the product you were showing. I think later in the vid you started holding them up longer. You are so talented and creative. Thanks!
I've wanted to get my hands on a few of the boxes since you did the RAK vid.... But can you believe I've not been to the city to pick some up? Yeah... THAT long! LOL.
Arlene ! you showed the box, but now seeing how you did I'm even more amazed, I'm organizing my scrap room and m hands are itching to start to try to do something like this, will not be as good but everyone need to start from somewhere :)
The box turned out lovely. I suppose when you have so much to choose from it makes it much easier. Its a struggle when you have to make the embellies from scratch but its so worth the effort in the end. I was lucky enough to be gifted a box and have been too scared to decorate it as they cant be bought here in NZ. Now that I have seen how easy it is Im def going to give it a go. (No, how easy you make it look) Thanks so much and I have my fingers and toes crossed I can make it look as nice.
I drove the 40 minutes to my nearest Michaels to find this box as soon as I finished watching this video the first time around and they didn't have it. :( Great job on the box. It looks awesome.
Thank you for sharing this video, you are such an inspiration. Your work is stunning and you make it look so easy. Love the idea of the bubble wrap. Have a great day
So beautiful. Love the mini box and mini book. You're so creative and you work so fast (yeah, I know the video is sped up). I spend so much time thinking and deciding. I need to be more spontaneous. I have a few of those wooden boxes hiding in my supplies. You've inspired me to get them out and create something.
wowee, ar, love all the techniques! what a wonderful piece of artwork!! love all the awesome details. thank you so much for sharing with us!! love them. have a wonderful nite! *hugs* steph :)
Honestly, you never cease to amaze me. This is stunning! Also, I really like this format of video you sometimes do- its a nice change once in a while. Teresa

Beautiful box! I love seeing the different types of adhesives you were utilizing. With so many adhesives out there, it's a little difficult to know which glue works with different textures. I also appreciated the little "tip boxes" you would feature on the upper left hand side.
OMG! i love this Arlene! what a wonderful job...thank you so much for showing start to finish. I'm always thinking on how to get the paper to glue so that it wont come off!
Love this box and mini...so very pretty! You always know just the right embellishments to add...so amazingly talented...Love this paper as well..have it ordered after I saw your haul..Thanks So Much for Sharing!!
Gorgeous Arlene. Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
I have been using Anita's Water Clean-Up Polyurethane (semi-gloss) instead of Modge Podge at the recommendation from the girl who does classes at my Michael's. I like is so much better. It isn't as tacky when dried. It is with the decoupage supplies and it comes in a 8 fluid oz. bottle.
ahahaha...love the crafting on speed mode.....thanks Arlene for the video....love the box...you are always inspiring....hope your day is a blessed one...hugs, Noel
I usually don't comment on videos much, but this creation was stunning, my jaw fell to the ground when I saw this, its just brilliant! Congratulations, you're so talented :)
WOW what can i say words really do not do it justice i love your work and this is just the most adorable gorge piece of work thank you so much for sharing your fantastic talent again hugs jayne xxxxx
Beautiful! I love watching your process - it is truly amazing! How did you re-attach the black ribbon (that you used to replace the elastic band) so it stayed in place? Thanks for the video! :) Hugs, Gayle
This box mini is just amazing!!! I liked seeing the different paints you used adding texture. The feet look like they came with the box. Thanks so much for sharing ~Dera
LOve it! Fabulous. I loved every part of the tutorial. Question what is that gesso for and how does it work? And how do you fast forward the video, what speed is that? Is that the flip camera? Where do you recommend purchasing the flip? I've checked and HSN doesn't have it :(
@AF0093 TFW... wow, lots of questions... hehe!! here goes.... Gesso is used as a primer to prep the surface for paint, glue, etc. I use iMovie to FF my vids. It's on top speed, 100%. Not Flip. I got my Flip through work, but you can purchase them at your local Costco now. :-)
amazing arlene!! i loved watching you put it together. (: and the bubble wrap technique was sooo cool! at least i think it was bubble wrap. lol. GORGEOUS colors. hehe. how long did it take you to make the whole thing??
@DreamBigLover Hey Tina!!!! Thanks again for the boxes, I LOVE altering them!! :-) It probably took me about 2-3 hours total over a period of 4 days to make this. :-) TFW! hugs, Arlene
I love watching you work Ar! It came out totally goreous! Did you do the fast forward video on your flip? I have no idea how to do that. Thanks so much for sharing your awesome talent with us! Hugs, Mary >;<
@OdonataCreations Thanks Mary! I actually used iMovie on my MAC to fast forward the video. FlipShare (the software that comes with the Flip) doesn't do much . :-( TFW girl! :-)
@mybutterflykisses12 OMG Arlene I want to learn how to do this fast forwarding thing! I have Imovie but no clue how to use it! would ou have time one day to give us a few tips? I'm sure many of us want to make videos like this, but have no clue how to start. Pretty please, with sugar on top =D Sharon
Absolutely inspiring! I always get such great ideas and motivation from watching the videos of your creations. Can't wait to get a box and try one for myself. Keep them coming...
Beautiful - your artistic talent amazes me. I know right now you're needing some down time but sometime when you feel up to it I'd love to know what you did to attach the ruffled elastic for the box closure. TFS
Arlene you inspire me every day. I can’t believe how beautiful you made a little box that I wouldn’t look twice at before. You are so good. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. BTW I love the format of this video. It shows everything you did and at a speed that we can still enjoy. Thank you again. Andrea
Wow, I loved this video. It made me want to get up and dance. It was perfect music to speed up the video too. One of my favorite videos ever. The box is beautiful.
@Renskeeee Thanks so much! :-) It took me about 2-3 hours over 4 days to make this. I had to keep stopping to focus on other things, too many distractions hehe! TFW! :-)
This is just amazing!!!! Love your choice of papers and all the different techniques you used on this little box. Thanks for sharing all your talent with us!! Big hugs, T

@OdonataCreations Thanks Mary! I actually used iMovie on my MAC to fast forward the video. FlipShare (the software that comes with the Flip) doesn't do much . :-( TFW girl! :-)

Beautiful - your artistic talent amazes me. I know right now you're needing some down time but sometime when you feel up to it I'd love to know what you did to attach the ruffled elastic for the box closure. TFS

Arlene you inspire me every day. I can’t believe how beautiful you made a little box that I wouldn’t look twice at before. You are so good. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. BTW I love the format of this video. It shows everything you did and at a speed that we can still enjoy. Thank you again. Andrea

@Renskeeee Thanks so much! :-) It took me about 2-3 hours over 4 days to make this. I had to keep stopping to focus on other things, too many distractions hehe! TFW! :-)
