Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Prep the bead container top by cutting a slot into the top with a craft knife.

   

2. Step 2

   Using the tips of scissors or another small blunt object, push the end of the ric-rac loop into the slot and secure with a piece of tape.

   

3. Step 3

   Thread the button with the twine and wrap around the ribbon pull on the lid. Finish with a bow.

   

4. Step 4

   Cut small vertical slits into the 6 patterned paper strips. Do not make the slits at the same positions for every strip of patterned paper. For example, for one strip make the starting cut at 1/2" and then cut at every 3/4". Then for another strip make the starting cut at 1", cutting a slit every 1". Curl up the edges.

   

5. Step 5

   Adhere a strip of Terrifically Tacky Tape to the uncurled side of the patterned paper strips.Leave a little excess tape on each side, this will allow you to tighten the strips as you wrap them around the container.

   

6. Step 6

   Starting at the bottom of the container in about 1/4", wrap the patterned paper strips around the container with the overlapping sides in the back of the container. Use the excess adhesive on each side to tighten and secure the strip.

   

7. Step 7

   Continue to adhere the 5 remaining strips overlapping them about 1/8" - 1/4".

   

8. Step 8

   Once complete, add the adhesive rhinestones and pearls.
