Supplies Needed for this Project:
Plaid Paint and Extreme Glitter- Folk Art Acrylic Paint- Black, Ocean View -- Extreme Glitter-Hologram, Sea Sparkle
Embellishment for top of gourd
Brushes
Glue
Scraper for inside of gourd
Start by cutting your gourd apart using your Proxxon Gourd Jig Saw. This particular gourd had a wavy pattern in the cut.
This particular white type of interior in a gourd is rather difficult to remove.
Use your scraper of choice to clean out the easy part of the inside of the gourd and then use your Proxxon Rotary Tool with a small ball cleaner to get the hard stuff out.
After cleaning the inside of the gourd, use the alcohol inks to swirl a pattern of different colors onto the outside of the gourd. After drying the alcohol inks, brush on two coats of Plaid Extreme Glitter in Hologram drying the coats in between.
Use the Plaid Folk Art Acrylic Paint in Ocean View to paint the inside. Once that is dry, put two coats of the Plaid Extreme Glitter in Sea Sparkle on the inside also, drying between coats. Do the edge of the gourd with Folk Art Acrylic Black Paint.
Attach the embellishment that you chose to the top of the gourd with Glue and there you are! This particular trinket box can hold so many different special things.

Wow, I love your choice of colors and the way you cut it. This would add a nice spot of color on my dresser and hide some of my little collections of "stuff" that gathers there.
Great for kids to put their small treasures in! Marsha
It's essential that you love where you live. Staying in your home should make you happy. For people who work from home, it is even more important than their home is one they enjoy. A great way to increase how you feel inside is by completing home projects that need to be done.If you are going to sell your home and it does not suit the buyer, they can always fix it to satisfy themselves.Make Premium Look By Using Home improvement tools .
