Top Tip
The glue dries fairly quickly on the boxes so work in small sections to avoid air bubbles.
How to Make
Step 1

Step 3
- Choose a selection of decoupage papers to use over the three boxes.
- Measure and cut the paper for the outside of each box. For each box you will need: One long piece to wrap around the outside. Make sure this will overlap the top and bottom edge by about 1cm. A circular piece for the bottom. A large circular piece for the lid that will wrap over the sides and inside edge by about 1cm.
- Decorate the outside of the boxes with the papers. Apply a small amount of glue and place the paper on top, brush over the top with more glue using a hog hair brush, working from the centre out to remove bubbles and creases. Continue until a whole piece is attached.
- Decorate the insides with ripped up pieces of your chosen paper in a collage style until all areas are covered.
- 5. Allow to dry thoroughly before putting lids on boxes or they will stick. Fill with useful things like cotton wool, nappy cream and emergency chocolates!
