Boxed up

My local dollar store is currently carrying

craft jewelry boxes.

their just plain wood

and fun for decorating.

i made one earlier

for my daughters bangles

(WIP)

i decided to make one for my son

i found these comics at the dollar store a few months back

these actually came with a classic X-men comic

and a cool Turoc comic

so using the 'Troll Lords' cheesy comics i decorated my box

i started by finding cool images i liked.

i then tore out the images and decoupaged them to the box

( gotta love mod podge!!

 Its almost a Verb on its own...

 Im Mod Podging!!lol)

here is my final product after decoupaging

when adding the image on the sides and back

 i covered the whole thing then after dry

 i used an exacto knife to cut open.

 i suggest doing one side at a time

I like the way the images blend together

after i finished decoupaging my images on i decided i  wanted to add a little color.

i still wanted it to look like a classic comic book so i used watered down food coloring to paint a few areas.

i wasn't concerned if the color spread.

my hubby loves the way it turned out..

Top

front

sides

back

I really like the way this turned out myself...

 i really want to make more of these with other images

It currently houses Lil mans binkies

their always being misplaced

 so now anytime i find a binky

 its put in the box

now i know where to find one when i need one!!

On a Sidenote...

 Ive entered this project into
