My SIL asked me to make a card house for a friend of hers only she didn't want a house, wanted a simple box with pearls and padding. I hate to admit this - but simple is not in my vocabulary. I suggested a treasure chest with a tufted top. I used a premade card box from Michaels, removed the fabric and went to work. I added batting, covered the bottom with moire taffeta which has a pattern that resembles wood grain. The top was covered with matching satin and tufted with pearls. I added some trims and more pearls. I also recycled the large "knob" by covering it with some trim and surrounding it with flowers. Hope she likes it. My SIL did.
