How to Make a Gift from an Old Box
By Nikoletta Bocz
What good is an old box and some napkins? We can make a beautiful present for someone or we can hold little things in it.
We need the following materials:
- box
- 3 different napkins
- varnish (decoupage lacquer: this is a glue as well in one block)
- brush, scissors
We will make the side of the box. The napkins generally consists of 3 or 4 layers. We need only the upper coloured or patterned layer. The lower layers must have removed. (We won't coat the bottom of the box, because it causes that the box will close hard.) You should anoint the box with the varnish and put the tailor-made napkin on it. With the brush you need to stroke the napkin. After, you should anoint the napkin as well with the varnish. In the picture you can see it: Picture1
We will use 2 kind of napkins for the top of the box. Firstly we will gluing the frame and after, the main picture. Picture2
Finally we will anoint the whole box with the varnish (in plenty). And we can see the result! I made this box for my husband, because his hobby is the fishing. Another idea: you can prepare a personal gift with the help of this technology. The number of the opportunities are no end of. Picture3
