I made this for my niece Jessica, who is five years old. Like her sister’s box, it is a wooden box from Michael’s that I spent a few weeks decorating. I used violet interference paint, mixed with gel retarder, to stamp the leaf patterns on the lid and sides. I tried to make a polymer clay embellishment for the lid, but it turned out poorly, so I used the gerbera daisy cut out instead.
Inside the box is a rhinestone tiara. My focus group says this sort of thing is appealing to the 5-7 yr old girl demographic.

So I was showing this to my kid, who said “Pink and purple! I remember going through a pink and purple phase!”
And – I remember going through a pink and purple phase, too.
It’s beautiful. Hope she loves it.
