Arts &Crafts, How-To's, Upcycling & Repurposing

The Dollar store is one of my favorite go to places! You can find so much there and for so little money.

Today I’m sharing a fun little project with you guys. The longest part was waiting for the paint to dry.

Supplies needed:

* “Wall Creations” Removable Wall Decal (peel & stick)

* Unfinished square wooden box (open on one side)

* Paint – color of choice to match the wall decal

* Unfinished wooden words

* Paint brush

* Tray for paint

* Ruler

* Pencil

* Mat or newspaper to protect surface

* Any type of decorations to put on. Flowers, wood decals, resin pieces, gems, etc.

Step 1:

Start by measuring the front of the box onto the decal. With the pencil mark a line around the box on to the back side of the decal.

Then cut out the square (or whatever shape your wood piece is), set it aside.

Step 2:

Place the wood box on your mat/newspaper and paint it with choice of color. I painted the whole thing just to get it over with.

Let dry.

Step 3:

Now you can take your cut out decal and put it on the box. After that you can decorate it. For mine, I hot glued resin around the border of the outside on 3 sides. Then added a branch and a bird on the front.

I painted the wooden word I chose, when it was dry I glued it down on the front.

That’s it. Now you have a new piece to decorate your home with.
