Dusty Attic Stenicl box - Heather Woodall

 Good morning all

Today I've turned the Book Nook #1 into a storage stand for my Dusty Attic Stencils

https://dustyattic.com.au/product/blank-book-nook-1/

I've seen a few of the Dusty Attic design team members do some of the most amazing book nook projects over the past few months, so thought I'd do something completely different and turn it into something practical, and it is a perfect size for storing my Dusty stencils or Dusty chipboard

I started by adding the metal feet to each corner and the chipboard border strip across the bottom of the 2 long edges

I then painted the whole box, including the inside in this beautiful Duck Egg Chalk paint from artisan Paint, from Secon Time Round NSW. After painting it, I applied the gorgous transfers also from Second Time Round NSW

I then added a little bit of wax to the feet and chipboard border strips and edges of the box.

The box was then sealed to protect it.

To finish it off I added the metal handles on the sides, which have also had some silver was applied to them, And I had this title/quote chipboard, Live Beautifully... which I thought was perfect for the images on my box. I did go backwards and forwards a few times with the finish of these titles, and in the end I decided to just to keep them simple and white.

Magical Book Nook - Deb Stephens - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello all you Dusty Attic Fans and Welcome to my May Moodboard Project, a Magical Book Nook!

This project started with a Blank Dusty Attic Book Nook #1 (DA3354), some resin Trees , an empty Pringals can, and DA3464 Wood Panel Stencil, DA3461 Magical Stencil and DA1760 Leaves #3 Stencil. I used the Stencils on the inside and outside walls of the Book Nook to add texture. I also added paste through the wood panel stencil onto the can and let it dry. I dampened the DA3487 Fairy Doors #2 Sml with water and curved it around the can until it curved without splitting and adhered it into place.

This is the inside of one of the walls after the stenciling had dried and I had applied paints and waxes. I LOVE this new wood panel stencil.

The tree was finished with DA0562 Mini Fairies. sections were cut out and battery operated lights were fed into the tree to make an illuminated backdrop.

DA3471 Magic Mushrooms Mixed were painted and finished in glossy accents to give more dimension. These are also some of my new favourite Dusty Attic chippy's.

DA0829 - Mini Cobblestones were sprayed with colour and added for a pathway along with DA 3469 – Mini Gems and Crystals. I also added a layer of glow in the dark paste to the crystals and sprayed with some glitter so they would glow once the light were out. Glitter crystal filler stones were used on either side of the pathway and fake moss was added as well.

On the inside of the roof after it was painted, more glow in the dark paste was stenciled through the Magical stencil. it was very difficult to take a clear photo of the paste as it glowed, but I thought I would add it here anyway, even though its not a good photo.

The outside long walls were textured through the stencils, DA0873 Corner Flourish #4 was added, then painted and waxed.

Here are some more close up photos of the inside. I have used the lights and wrapped them around various parts of the Book Nook to create more light and highlight those mushrooms and crystals.

I hope you get inspired by the Mood board and by this project, to make one of your own Book Nooks.

  Hello everyone!

 

I was inspired again to create a new book nook. 

Maybe you remember the last one in steampunk style. 

 Steamie Seahorse light up Book Nook

 

Today to the theme Enchanted Forest, a little dreamy fairy house in natural style. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to ...tips 

 

 

 

for the lighting I added an additional wall made of cardboard, 

which was covered with wood paper and finished with cutting dies (stars)

 

 side walls were covered with scrapbooking paper, 

stencilled with butterfly motifs and 

decorated with pieces of  Leafy Frame Set #2

 

in project centre is a 3D Birdhouse, which is fixed on a birch branch as a stand

a ladder leads to it, which was created from the Old Wooden Fence #3 

 

cut out the door from chipboard remnants

 

primed with black gesso and painted with acrylics 

 

furthermore I used various naturally dried materials 

to finish the house (branches, pine cones, lichen)
