Keep your treasures in a pretty box!

This is a fun project to do with a cheap wooden box and some scrapbook paper and embellishments...



Paint your box in a color that matches your paper (I like to unmount the opening system)
Cut your paper a few inches less than the size of each side.


Ink them (if you like to!)



Glue them on; I used modpodge and a brayer for this step to get my paper smooth and perfectly glued.



Then decorate your box as you like.

    That box is really beautiful. I love the shape and the paper you chose. I am hosting a blog party that opens tonight at 8pm EST. I would love for you to come by and join in the fun.
