Jack Sparrow

My son asked me to make  him a son of  Jack Sparrow.He even drew a picture of  how J.S.Jr. should look like.

 According to my son's story Jack Sparrow had a son from his first love half-Russian Lizonka (Elizabeth, not the Swan one, different one.) This copper-headed young lady have had a taste for adventures, sailed the Seven Seas and knew martial art. Some time ,some place Jack and Lizonka have met …the rest of the story is hidden in the darkness,but now Jack Sparrow Jr. ,all grown up,  is set  for his own adventures!

How to decorate small round box with denim

I've took some pictures while making this box and now I decided to show the process to those who are interested in it.

First of all I took small box from cheese (by the way cheese was yummy) and some denim scraps. Personally, I like to use those parts from jeans which have some wear on it which gives me different shades of blue.

Then I draw two circles. Simply put your choice of box on fabric and outline. Cut it out.

For this box I decided to make handle on top. I took belt loop and sew it in the center of piece which will cover the lid.

 Now simply glue denim to the sides of box. I use craft glue. As you can see the length wasn’t enough so I measured another piece of denim and glued it.

This is the in-between result.

I incised the fabric not quite reaching the bottom. Put some glue on and fold fabric in the way you can see on pictures.

Glue one circle on the bottom of box.

Glue piece with handle on lid.

I happened to have some ribbon which perfectly matched the width of lid rim so I used it. If you don’t have anything like this just cut another piece of denim and glues it on rim. I recommend close the lid before gluing something on rim because there is the chance you may pull fabric too tight while gluing it and lid won’t fit.

This is the result.

Nice box made from almost nothing!
