 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel. It's Eva from Bohemian Crafting, and today I would like to show you how I have created my Christmas, rustic Christmas, lantern and pot. I have used dye from Sizzix Bix Sizzix dye tumbler for the base of that pot and of that lantern and then I have used another Bix Sizzix dye dye stars for decorating that pot and also a 3D embossing folder for decorating the lantern. I have used that Lattie Strim made by Tim Holtz, designed by Tim Holtz. So let's get started from heavy cardboard boxes. I could pieces in the size similar with that Bix dye to make sure that I will have some leftovers because these leftovers I wanted to use for frames for my lantern. I have put the base of that tumbler Bix Sizzix Dyes, which I will use for pots and that leftover I have used for creating the frames for my lantern. I just used my EK tool ruler which is wonderful for making some, you know, some measurement It has wonderful, wonderful, it's wonderful tool. So I use that tool to make a frame all around of that negative cut and this I made four of them and these frames I glued together using hot glue gun When I have glued all four sides together, I put glue on the bottom of this Latin and I glue it to another piece of cardboard box and then with my cutting knife, I just cut that that cardboard box around the base of my Latin. I used hot glue gun to seal all those four sides which are glued to cardboard box to make it more stronger and then I used hot glue gun to seal all those four sides I did seal this way all sides of this Latin later also on pot same way to make it more strong and protect that material that paper from the water because it will be outside. So to keep it at least for this Christmas I used quite lots of glue to seal all these open sides For the top of my Latin I have cut two small squares which I glued on the on the roof of my Latin to make it stronger and also decorative and as you can see in the video I sealed all four sides of these squares with hot glue gun again to make it more strong and more hopeful to keep it for this Christmas. Then I glued together the pieces I cut for for my Christmas pot the similar way I glued together parts for that Latin Again, I put glue on the base of this pot on that bottom bottom square of this pot and I glue it to a piece of cardboard box to make the bottom of that pot and with the knife I cut that cardboard box around and again, I sealed all these open sides to protect the cardboard box from getting wet too too fast. You will see later that I made a mix for painting on those sides of that pot. I used stars which I could again from cardboard boxes And I did use that big scissor star stars cutting die You will don't see that in this video But I used hot glue gun on all sides of those stars every single each of those stars I kind of sealed also on those open sides which you can see on cardboard boxes For the painting I mixed together black acrylic paint with a mod podge. I mix it half half and with this mixture I painted my Latin and also that pot. I used three coats so hopefully it will kind of seal it and protect it from getting wet To make metallic look I did another mix. I used white acrylic paint and black acrylic paint and water and I made kind of very watery grey mix and first I dub it on my Latin and also on that pot which is not here in this video But I dabbed up that color on that Latin and then with wet napkin or wet wipe I kind of Smush that painting to make invisible those brushes those brushes strokes When it was dry I did used acrylic paint. I showed you in the video that I've got a new acrylic paint silver acrylic paint and then another Choice which I had it's Arctic which is brilliant acrylic medium But I didn't use it on this Latin or on that pot and again, I'm gonna use the Dub-dub-dub Technique to add this silvery look and it will make it a rusty look of old metal inside I paint the Latin for with that acrylic paint When it was dry, I use the Utah rope And I glued Utah rope on all bottom of this Latin And then I cut from can from a metal can from some energy drink I can't strips using that Tim Holtz 3d embossing folder and I glued this can first on the paper on the cardstock to Make it much better Much better to work with When it is it is back with paper. It's much more easy to glue it and anywhere you want So I glued that can on the paper then I cut those strips using that 3d embossing embossing folder and then I glue it on the bottom of my Latin like decoration for the top of my Latin I choose to decorate it with kind of Hook or hunger I've got those half circles here those metal half circles circles here from my old Handbag I saved up so from the Utah rope I have created the holder for those metal half rings You can see that in that video how I made it and I glue it on two sides of my laten on two top sides of my Latin and then to seal it properly I use that Utah rope all around of this of this square of That the roof of that Latin For the holder Of this Latin I used again Utah rope I measured how long piece I will need and then I seal it around those half Circles those metal half circles and To make it more strong sealed and also more decorative I used Utah string which I wrapped around that holder that Utah holder and I seal it again with hot glue gone because it's quick and it's hold fast So all these pieces are glued together with hot glue gun for that rustic Look I decided to make also a rusty Effect on these two parts. I'm using Mod Podge mix with With special powder this powder is using when you are making models like airplanes, you know those small models There is so many products you can buy. I found this on Amazon. It's from home brawl Company and it's called weathering powder and I bought rusty color, which I'm using here. I made a mix Which I'm keeping for myself in that plastic pot I mix it with Mod Podge a little bit of that rustic powder and I'm auditing that mix on my lathe and I did it on that pot before as well Once it's drying. It's getting a little bit darker, which is brilliant Kind of smushing all that mixture with my finger. It makes Much much better effect when you smash it some sometimes a little bit and when I put quite a lot of this mixture I'm using That wet wipe to wipe it off a little bit because I don't want to have it too much rusted I just want to have here and there some rusty effects and That's all what I have created and then I just place it on my steps from off the door I hope you did enjoy this small craft.
