Okay my first altered item. An old chest i painted and then decorated with pieces of an altered jigsaw i’d made that i didn’t know what to do with. i think it turned out okay but still not sure if i should add other things?? it’s to hold some of my crafty bits in my workroom.

yes, you are in the right place for this make hun! Its totally gorgeous too, well done x

Really gorgeous, green and mysterious. Is it an IKEA chest? I have one too that I altered but I can never get the drawers to open and close nicely. Does yours ‘work’ properly?

Lovely altered chest.
That will have taken you ages to do.
Fab creation.

thats lovely i dont think it needs anything else

Looks good to me, and doesn’t need anything else. 

I wonder if something like candle wax rubbed along the drawers will help them open and close.  Or maybe varnish the bottms and the inside?
