Supplies for Organizing with Nautical Buttons

• Buttons Galore – Buttons Galore Nautical Value Pack

Additional Supplies

• Patterned Paper – Tommy Collection, Cardstock (Honey, Cranberry, Outdoor Denim), Burlap Ribbon, Chipboard Arrow – all from Close To My Heart
• Bling – Want2Scrap Sleek Strips Silver Rhinestones
• Twine – Doodlebug Design Doodle Twine
• Ink – Copic R46, R29, C3, C4, Blender (0) and SP05 Multiliner, Cantaloupe and Bahama Blue Memento Dye Ink (Tsukineko)
• Adhesive – Scor-Tape (Scor-Pal Company) and AdTech Adhesive Hot Glue
• 3d Pencil Box with Wrap SVG – Designed by Jamie Cripps (Silhouette Online Store)

Directions:

1. Cut two outer panels, one of the Tommy themed paper – one of Outdoor Denim (both from Close to My Heart). Adhere together with Scor-Tape. Save leftover patterned paper – on the back there is a word strip that is used in the embellishments. Note – the Outdoor Denim liner is a special addition – it gives the box a little bit of added sturdiness.
2. Color numbers of choice using Copic Marker R29 and R46. Add shadows with C3 and C4. Add accents with Blender pen and Copic Multiliner.
3. Cut insert from Honey Cardstock. Assemble and attach to the outer portion of the box.
4. Cut band from Cranberry Cardstock.
5. Loop twine through Anchor button and tie through red button. Adhere red button to Ship’s Wheel button using AdTech Adhesives hot glue.
6. Adhere burlap ribbon and buttons with AdTech Adhesives hot glue.
7. Ink Chipboard Arrow (From Lucky Level 2 Assortment – Close To My Heart) with Cantaloupe Ink and edge with Bahama Blue Ink (Tsukineko – Memento Dew Drop). Adhere with AdTech Adhesives hot glue.
8. Choose sentiments from leftover Tommy paper and “pink” edges. Attach to burlap using AdTech Adhesives hot glue.
9. Outline numbers with Sleek Strips Silver Rhinestones.

Note – for additional assistance assembling the box, Jamie has a wonderful tutorial on her blog.
