>> Hi and welcome to a new tutorial
today I will show how to customize a beauty case.
For our project we will need:
an old beauty case we don't use anymore,
an hot glue gun
scissors,
some felt swatches,
various embellishments,
cardboard letters
and a pen.
First of all let's grab the felt
and let's cut out some letters
using as a guide
these cardboard letters.
If you don't have this kind of letters
you can either draw the letter by hand
or print it on paper, cut it out and copy it.
The name I wish to write is Cecilia
so I start tracing the different letters.
To avoid the pen marks to show
I place the letters in reverse
so that once I'll cut them
the pen marks will not show.
Et voilà!
We can now cut the letters
out of the felt.
Once we cut
all the letters,
here they are,
we take the beauty case
and we need to cover this area,
to hide this pattern.
So, using another piece of felt,
in another color,
I'll measure
the dimensions of the area
I need to cover.
Then I mark them on the felt.
I start cutting the portion.
I round the corner
so that it will fit better on the beauty case.
Now I need to glue it down.
To help me support the base
I place something inside
I used a tissue papers box
then using the hot glue
I adhere
the felt to the beauty case.
I repeat the same on the other side.
Now I can check the layout
of the letters I cut.
Always using the hot glue
I start adhering them.
Et voilà
To finish we can add the embellishments we prefer,
I think I'll only add a bow
which I create like this.
Here is our finished customized beauty case
Ok, that's all for today
I hope you liked the tutorial
I will see you in my next video...ciao!
