DISTRESS…. AND CHIP!
‘Distress…. and chip!’. But, you have to say it with the cadence of ‘Bend…. and snap!’, okay? If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then just view this clip.
I just recently had to upgrade my cell phone. I was about to toss the box that my old one came in, when I noticed that it was in mint condition; however, the surface design was obviously that of the company the phone came from. That’s when I immediately assumed the position of ‘distress…. and chip’. Perhaps you crafty DIYers would like to get in on the action, too.

Isn’t it a charming little packaging box transformation? Some homemade chalk finish paint, homemade moss tape, a piece of rusty wire and some decoupaging action was all it took to put this crafty project together. I made a matching gift tag, too.

See the subtle chippy finish details? They’re so easy to achieve on a cardboard box.

I was just about to tuck some tissue paper inside my gift box before photographing it, when it dawned on me that fabric would be an even better idea. I would have used organza, but I don’t have any on hand. Tulle would be a lovely option, too.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a gift box, either. It could be used as a decorative storage box.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this session of ‘Distress…… and chip!’.
