Transform a Wooden Box into a Decoupage Masterpiece!
With the magic of decoupage, you can turn any plain wooden box into a stunning, personalised keepsake. Whether for your own collection or as a thoughtful gift, this DIY project will not only keep your treasures safe, but it’ll reflect your own creative style.
What You’ll Need:
· Wooden Box - pick your shape
· Scissors or Craft Knife
· Brushes and Brayer (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Pick & Cut Your Design
· Select your favourite decoupage papers and cut them to fit the sides, top, and bottom of your wooden box. Mix and match patterns for a unique look!
Step 2: Apply the Glue
· Using a brush, spread a thin, even layer of decoupage glue over one section of the box.
Step 3: Add the Paper
· Carefully place your cut-out paper onto the glued surface. Smooth it down gently, working from the centre outward to remove any air bubbles or wrinkles.
· Continue this process, adding more cutouts until your design is complete.
Step 4: Seal & Finish
· Once the paper is dry, brush another thin layer of decoupage glue over the entire design to seal it. Allow it to dry completely.
· For a polished look, trim any rough edges and add embellishments if desired.
