Decoupage: Something Old into Something New
This decoupage project began with an old jewelry box that definitely needed some revitalization. I was ready to start looking for a new place to store my jewelry when the crafty wheels in my head started to turn - maybe this jewelry box could be saved. The end result: a completely unique jewelry box created through recycling and the art of decoupage.
All you really need to get going with this craft is: the article you wish to decoupage, paper or materials that you want to cover the article with, and Mod Podge (the glue that I used to affix the paper to the jewelry box). Soon enough, you'll have saved an old piece of furniture or accessory from its demise and you'll have a one-of-a-kind new crafty creation!
To reform this old jewelry box, I used an old gardening book that I found laying around the house. I cut out various black and white photos from the book, along with pieces of text that describe various types of flowers and greenery. These images were decoupaged to the top lid of the jewelry box. Around the outer edges of the jewelry box, I used images of flowers and vines, that appear to be growing up the side of the box. Then, I applied the Mod Podge liberally over the images, one by one, attaching them to the jewelry box.
Once all of the paper dried, I took an old photograph that I found in a drawer of a scene at a lake and glued it to the top lid. I just found that the jewelry box could use something extra as a focal point. The beauty of this craft is that it is easy to do, doesn't take too long (depending on the size of the project!), and it is super creative! Hopefully you will be inspired by this project to reform some items around your house or save them from going out to the trash!
