Hello friends! I hope your weekend was amazing. The weather here was perfect! We had fun and worked a bit too. Today I’m sharing a brand new little box makeover. I worked on several other things this weekend so I’ll be sharing them later this week and next.

Before we continue, I want to remind you that I have a GIVEAWAY going on right now! Hop on over and enter to win, here. There’s still time! Remember, you can enter daily for extra chances to win!!

The project today is a makeover using ReDesign’s beautiful Decoupage Decor Tissue Paper. I don’t think most people know how many pretty designs there are. And how many things you can do with it! You can see some of them here.

This one came out of this haul…

The inside was great though! I’ll keep that.

MATERIALS LIST FOR THE DECOUPAGE TISSUE PAPER MAKEOVER

Prefer to shop on Etsy? I have an Etsy shop also, here!

 

I started by removing the hardware.

Next, I painted the exterior with Victorian Lace. (a beautiful white!)

And I left the interior black.

To attach the decorative decor tissue paper, I used Decoupage & Transfer Gel.

The tissue paper was a little bit creased so I ran a warm iron over it to smooth it out first.

After ironing, I laid out the tissue paper to decide which part of the design I wanted to use on the top of the box.

Since I had a certain area of the design that I wanted to use, I folded back the tissue paper to apply the decoupage gel.

After that, I added a coat of Decoupage Gel to the top too.

Once it was fully dry, I lightly sanded the edges to separate the excess tissue paper from the box.

See how it comes apart so easily that way?

I like to do little surprises inside so I added this small floral transfer to the inside bottom.

Originally, I had planned to have the outside be all white but decided to add a little pink.

Rose Water pink is what I chose since it’s a beautifully soft pink like the tissue paper.

I gave the whole thing one coat of Tough Coat Topcoat in Matte.

A sweet little box now.

I just love using ReDesign decorative decor tissue paper and their transfer papers to take things up a notch or two!
