Tonight's projects are ones that I made for my daughter's teachers for Xmas gifts. I used pre-made wooden boxes and altered them with patterned paper and wood stain. One of the boxes has a glass top and the other one has a mirrored top. Sorry for the poor picture, my camera doesn't seem to like the mirrored top...I keep trying to get a better pic, but it's not working for me and now I'm giving up rather than staying up any later, seeing as how it's already past 1 AM and I have to get up early in the morning! lol :)
This is what the box looked like to begin with.
These are all the little pieces of patterned paper that I cut out for the two boxes.
Now, I had to trim the pieces to fit on the boxes.
This is the Mod Podge that I used as the glue to adhere the patterned paper and to seal the paper in. I applied it with a foam brush.
Supplies:
Patterned Paper: A La Carte - Baguette (American Crafts)
Glue/Sealer: Mod Podge
Wood Stain: Authentic Milk Paint Antique Medium (Tulip)
Tools: Foam Brush, Scissors to trim excess paper, bone folder to press paper into crevices, little dish for glue.
Thanks for stoppin' by! :)
