Hello friends and happy Tuesday!

As promised, I’m back this week with two new ones from my latest haul.  Working on through it!

Only a few more left and I’ll need to go shopping for more new treasures. :)

Pineapple Paper Keepsake Box

Here is what I’m making over today…

orange wood small square box with glass lid

It’s just a simple wood box with a glass insert. Not much to it.

But now there is…

And it was such a simple makeover too!

I started by removing the glass and sanding it lightly.

Then I cleaned it up using my TSP Alternative.

Then I sprayed it white with a Satin finish white spray paint. (most any will do)

Then remember all the old scrapbook paper I pulled out of my stash and my last two scrapbook paper makeovers?

Well, this pretty pineapple paper was also in the stash. I just love it!

So colorful and pretty with that touch of gold.

I used this cutter and mat to cut it precisely to fit. (I have the old version, this is the new version)

I pulled out my fave decoupage gel applied a thin layer on the bottom of the box and attached the cut pineapple paper.

Replaced the glass…and done!

How incredibly sweet is this now??

What a difference, right?

Doesn’t look like much and then you see the little peek of color…

Love it!

Would be a great place to keep special items…jewelry, whatever!

So simple to do too…especially with the right tools. Makes it easy!

  1. So adorable Nancy! And it would make a lovely usable gift box for a present as well. Double present! :)

  2. Well, that was fun, Nancy! Next time I see one of those boxes at the thrift, I won’t be so quick to walk right by 😁

  3. Hi Nancy. I’ve been following along as you’ve been doing scrapbook paper makeovers. I’m going to give it a try because you make it look so easy, yet beautiful. What weight of paper are you using? Does it really matter what the weight is?

    1. Oh gosh, I don’t know. They are different weights that I’ve used though so I don’t think it really matters! :)
