From Blah to Beautiful

I found some really cool yellow and blue paper at the scrapbook store and just had to have it. It's been sitting around forever while i tried to decide what to do with it. After a trip to Hobby Lobby the light bulb finally came on.

Here is a sneak peek of the finished product:




Here are the supplies that you will need:

paper mache box
scrapbook paper
adhesive (I used sticky tabs and acid free glue)
pencil
scissors
sand paper and paint to distress
3-d embellishments ( I used a twenty-five cent felt coaster and a unfinished wood fleur de lis)

I got this paper mache box thingy at Hobby Lobby...after the 90% after Christmas discount it was only twenty-five cents!!



I traced the front and sides of the box onto the back of the paper.



Then I just cut out the shapes and glued them to the box. After the glued dried I used sandpaper and white paint on the edges to distress it a little. Then I glued the embellishments to the front.




Thats all!! The possibilities are endless with this project. There are gagillions of papers you could use and even more embellishments!!
