A lid of an orange peel box covered in gold leaf. It is on a wooden background and fills most of the screen. It is round and approx 6cm in diameter and 1.5 cm deep.

Next step of the bergamot box (made from orange peel). Gilding the lid! Interestingly I couldn’t mask it off because the essential oils in the skin stopped tape sticking. A lesson in concentration and patience 😁! #craftwithcuriosity #oldcraft #maker #craft #goldleaf

youtu.be/kdkzzsGDcaM I promised to share the video I watched on how to make bergamot boxes. Here it is. Bonus is that it’s a bright and sunny video, so might cheer up anyone sharing the grey rainy day we’re having here! 😆. #craft #oldcrafts #maker #making #craftwithcuriosity #boxes
