Now, for the slanted sides…here’s how I did it.
Do you see the photo above? I simply pressed against the wood edge to create where the cut would go.
Can you see the crease above? ( I had to darken the picture so it would show up)
I simply cut along that line and …
…perfect!
Now … for the other side, I ended up having to cut a couple of pieces to make the pattern correct.
But no worries! Once I use the Decoupage Gel underneath, you cannot tell at all.
Boom!
Then I decided to take this decoupage scrapbook paper project one step further…
I did it on the inside too!
Love that little peek of more.
Done!
I didn’t apply the Decoupage Gel to the top this time. I just left the paper as-is.
I love the blue and white contrast. (and you’d never know I pieced that together on the front!)
Just something about blue and white together that always draws me in.
Love how this one turned out. :)
Different look, huh?
PIN it to save it!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Keep an eye out on Instagram this weekend…we’ll be working at the Outer Banks house! (didn’t end up making it last weekend…oops!)
Plus, I have something fun coming on Sunday…keep an eye out for an email from me!
And be on the lookout for another one from the haul, here…
Nancy you made this piece happy! I love the paper, you’d never know about piecing the one side and the piece inside is brilliant.
Don’t work too hard this weekend!
Lovely makeover. I love blue and white! It is my favorite combination. This little pop of color makes me smile! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your weekend.
Love this fresh little box. I want to decopouge a box for my granddaughter with pics from the past of me and her aas a graduation gift as a keepsake. I plan to print them like a regular copy on a home printer. My concern is that when I put decoupage medium on them that the ink will smear and ruin the pic. I noticed when you did your Mason jar that you sprayed the paper jar with clear Spray. Will this prevent the smearing. Haven’t tried it yet so need some advice. I use mode podge but is there something else better? Love your site! Thx, Cheryl
Hi Cheryl! Yes, I will sometimes spray my printed things with a poly spray to help “seal” them up and hopefully keep it from running. Usually works really well! Either way, you don’t really want to get it very wet when doing the transfer etc. Mod Podge is good, I have used that a bunch. I typically always use our Decoupage and Transfer Gel now though. :) (you can find it here if you are interested)

Thanks, Christina! :) xoxo
The paper has a tile-like look. Very nice!
Yes, it really does!! Thank you, Ruth! :)

Thank you, Sue! :)
So pretty! I love all your decoupage projects.
Thanks, Debra!! Decoupage is so much fun. I have more to come next week! ;) xo
It looks so nice this way! Well done.
Thank you, Rose!! :)
Yes, love it, Nancy! Blue and white is my favorite, too. I like that it went from kind of rustic to refined.
Thank you, Dalila! That is a great way to describe it, love that! :)
So bright and fresh, Nancy. It never would occur to me to try and cover up the textured sides. Adding paper to the bottom makes it even better!
Thanks, Marcie! I originally thought I’d keep the textured part but then said, what the heck! ;) xo
So cute. In your staging photo did you also paint the books that are placed horizontally (with the vase on top) next to the bin?
Thanks, Robin! Yes, I sure did! :)
Oh that is super cute now, Nancy! It just needed a bit of a face lift to become a fresh new beauty!
I really like the choice of paper you used, too. There really is something about blue and white together, isn’t there??
Thanks, Michele! Yes!! :) Love blue and white, it’s the best! xoxo
Love this one!
Thanks, Audra! xo
