The little papier mache chest is only 3 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide. Because I wanted the top of the chest to contrast with the body, I chose the dotted paper and then cut out some of the poppies from the other side, shaped them a little and attached with thick foam dots. I used PVA as the adhesive and finishing coat for the entire project. (Hindsight and all----I should have cut paper for the top larger and mitered the corners to cover the underside of that rim.)

This is just so pretty! Love those poppies and I know this had to take a little time! Have a great weekend!
What a gorgeous little box!!! I love it!!
How pretty. I love the paper patterns. Altering things is not my thing so I usually skip these challenges. You did a wonderful job with your project.
What an excellent project. Your "wee chest of drawers" is wonderful. Beautifully created.
Well Evelyn, I am going to say a little more than just Pretty!!!!!!
This little chest of drawers, is impressive and charming.
Using G45 papers is a master stroke as I feel they were designed especially for these types of creations. The Poppies look great, and I like how you have fussy-cut and added them to the top. By keeping it free of embellishments you have given it a classic look. You should be very pleased with yourself.
