Ideas for Decorative Boxes


In a previous post we saw how interesting it can be used as decorative objects and boxes and respecting the role of storage. Decorations may be quite simple and the possibilities are many. Costs are generally very low, since none of the materials we use is expensive.

A simple way is to use napkins to decoupage (see post on the theme). The designs are varied and are very good. Be careful when hitting the napkins to the cardboard box, so there is no air. For that reason, once we attach the napkin, with a dry brush, go over the entire surface, removing any air bubbles.

Another simple way is to use tissue paper. We just need two or three colors. We cut squares and rectangles of those three colors, of different sizes. Let glue sticking with plastic (with brush) these squares, letting them overlap each other. Let it dry and give a final coat of varnish.
