Petite Parfum Potion Book By Sue Smyth

Petite Parfum Potion Book

 by Sue Smyth 

Hi Bloggers

Today I am sharing a special little project, that I just love.

It is a mini book featuring The Butterfly Garden Collection 

I took my cue from one of the labels in the set

Parfum Camia

which I gather means flower perfume, so I made this little 

book. I imagined another time when a well to do 

young lady would make notes in this book of her 

favourite flowers or perfumes.

I have cut 2 chipboard covers measuring 9 x 7cm and 

covered them with patterned paper and lace

For the book cut 8 panels measuring 14 x 9cm and score 

and fold at 7 cm.

Adhere all folded panels together back to back,

ink edges and adhere ribbon

over to top panel and bottom panel

before gluing the covers over

the top.

Fill a small glass vial with seed beads and swipe 

cork and glass with gesso for a shabby look.

Trim blue flowers from the ribbon they are

adhered to.

Use a heat gun to melt a little, this 

will straighten the petals and make them 

flatter and easier to work with.

Refer to my previous post to find out 

how to create a tinsy butterfly like mine.

Trim an element from lace and

adhere to bottom of oval frame.

Add a gemstone to the centre as 

pictured.

Dont forget to add the hardware handle,

which I have swiped with a little gesso.

Trim an element from the silver trim

dry brush with gesso and drop

a small amount of gel glue 

to the centre, add a clear or pearl glass bead.

Wrap fibres around frame and decorate with more flowers

and a trimmed Parfum Camia 

panel altered to form a scroll. Also 

fussy cut the perfume bottle and tuck

beside the vial.

I hope you have a go at making this, it was such fun 

and so small it will not take up lots of room 

in your craft space.

It also makes a beautiful gift
