Dr.Wambatt's Faerie Collector!
Dr.Wambatt's Faerie Collector! 17
Here is another project using my steampunk faerie paper, the faerie tile paper. These are steampunk faeries turned into a pocket book and faerie box called:
Dr.Wambatt's Faerie Collector!

The one sheet of paper can yield a few projects. I made the steampunk faerie banner, 3 faerie wands and this projects using one sheet of this scrapbook paper!

This project doubles as an accordian folded book, and a box theater! For directions on how to make an atc sized accordian folded book, pick up a copy of my book: Altered Art Circus for directions on how to make it!

Here are some photos of the project!

Here it is closed with the faeries tucked into it, complete with their wands:

  3. Thanks soooo much Ladies. The paper is nice and sturdy too, it allows for layering and heavier pieces with out sinking through the paper, due to the paper weight of each one!

    Hugs to you both!
    xoxo
    Lisa!
