Decorated Wooden Chest


Great way to store keepsakes!

When the postcards and other treasured keepsakes started piling up, I decided to purchase a plain wooden chest from my local craft store for my daughter to store it all in. To personalize it we grabbed a stack of leftover scrapbook paper, stickers, and sifted through old leftover paint cans in the garage. The result is a super cute and hip conversation piece for a soon to be tween's room.

How to:

 


Choose your paint color or stain. Cover with at least 2 coats and let dry.
Decide on your layout. We chose to create a border showcasing her name and favorite stickers on the front and covered the top panels with different strips of scrap paper.
Decoupage paper onto chest.

 Finish with light coats of Mod Podge.
