Birthday Box

I finally gave my friend her birthday present so now I can post it!  I made this cute trinket box from a plain wooden jewelry box I bought at the craft store.  Add some decoupage, a pair of earrings, and ta-da!

Materials:

• Wooden jewelry box
• Paint
• Photos or cut out designs (I cut out some paisley prints from scrapbook paper)
• Mod Podge
• Water based satin varnish
• Optional: Gus Gus

Paint the box.  Let dry.  Attach your images with the Mod Podge.  Let dry.  Spray all over with an even layer of varnish.  Let dry.  Spray again.  Let dry.  Fill with trinkets and goodies.  Let dry.  Just kidding, its dry.

Inspiration: giving presents.

Cheers...to skiing!
