De-stempelwinkel DT steampunk valentine trinket box.

This little wooden box has been altered using foil tape, paint and sand to give it a rusted metal look.


The gears are cut from silver card and given the same paint effect. The image is stamped and coloured with promarkers then ink distressed to make it appear dirty and well worn. I made the little envelope and pencils, grunged them up,then raided my bit boxes for the rest of the embellishments..... the leather trim around the side of the box is a bit of an old belt,
