Happy Sunday everyone!  I have a cute little token box to share with you.  I made this to fit a tiny album inside, but haven’t done the album yet.  I might just use it for storing goodies in since the pages are super small!  I got this wooden box from Michaels and it came unfinished.  I first put a coat of gesso all over the box.  I then traced out the sides, and top with the patterned paper I had chosen.  I painted the inside with acrylic paint and used some molding paste to give it some dimension.  After everything was dry I glued down the paper and did some fussy-cutting of some of the images. You can see those on the sides of the box, along with the “gorgeous” on the top.  I also used one of the flowers I cut out from the paper on the knob and covered it with glossy accents.  I then just started attaching my embellishments.

 I’ll have a list of the supplies I used in case you’re interested in doing your own.  I think it turned out cute and has a girly feel to it :) .  Let me know what you guys think and if you have any questions!

Supply List:

  • Unfinished wooden box
  • Scissors – a small detailed pair will help if you do a lot of fussy-cutting
  • Gesso – I like Liquitex but any brand will do
  • Glue – I used Golden Matt Medium but any strong glue will work
  • Acrylic paints – I used brown, gold & yellow
  • Paper is from The Whimsy Stack by DCWV
  • Glossy Accents for the flower
  • Stick Pin – mine is from Heidi Grace
