Pinterest has gotten my creative juices flowing, and I just can't stop! I made this little bad boy last night, and it only took like 30 minutes. I hate when crafts or remodels take days, but when there quick and simple and turn out so cute I love it! I've had this box for years I bought it with great intentions and then of course procastinated forever. One of my cousins took a pen to it and scribbled on it, so I figured the best way to cover it would be with paper.
My Supply List:
Box
Mod Podge
Scrapbook Paper
Scissors
Foam Brush
White Craft Paint
Coarse Paint Brush
As you can see I cut the paper to match all of the edges, then applied a thin coat (if you get too much it can warp your paper) of mod podge on the box one section at a time. Apply the paper and push firmly until it stays stuck, make sure you get the corners well, they tend to pull up the most. After you have the box covered, apply another coat of Mod Podge over the paper. It will look milky white at first but it dries clear, and puts a protective cover over the paper. After that dried I didn't like how you could see all the edges and that they didn't match up well so I made it "snow". With a coarse paintbrush dab white paint along the edges, the more un-uniform the better. After a little bit of drying time wa-lah!
Super cute Jess!!!
