Simple Dollar Tree Decorative Box Décor

 Simple Decorative Box

Hello! I'm so happy that you decided to stop by.

I'm excited to share this simple craft with you all. This craft only takes a few materials. You could actually call this a beginner craft project. 



Video tutorial


Materials such as peel-and-stick paper, and one wooden box


Materials needed

One wooden box

(I purchased my box at my local Dollar Tree for $3)

1-2 sets of peel-and-stick wallpaper

( Also purchased at my local Dollar Tree for $1 each)

Other materials I had on hand

Paint

A paintbrush

and water

Costs $5


Creating your decorative box

Start out with tracing each section of your wallpaper, and cut to the size of the sections on your box.

Once you have finished, take the backing off, and stick each piece to your box.

Add some paint to the front, back, and sides of your box. 

You can also add some of the wallpaper on the bottom inside of your box. 

You're all done! All that is left is filling up your box. I am currently using the box on my nightstand. I keep my phone charger, lotion, lip balm, and other things tucked away in my decorative box.  What room would you want this to be in if you created this box?

I hope that you have enjoyed this simple craft, and I'd love to hear if you decide to make your very own.

    It's amazing what a bit of paint and a glow up can do on something quite plain looking, it looks very decorative x
