Here's the wooden tissue box that I decoupaged with the paper from the Blue Hydrangea collection.

I'll walk you through the steps and at the end is a link to a YouTube video that explains it all!

I picked up a wooden tissue box from a local thrift store:  Lucky Finds Thrift Store in Rochester, NH

I used a fine grain sandpaper to rough up the outside of the box and remove the old decals.

Next, I painted the sides with a periwinkle acrylic paint that matched the hydrangea paper design. 

When the paint is dry, I used Maker's Magic to apply the Hydrangea paper to the top of the box. I covered the paper while wet with clear plastic and used a brayer roller to make sure it stayed flat and without bubbles or wrinkles. 

Using a blade tool, I cut out the tissue hole and sanded all edges.  I inked the edges with a matching pigment ink and heat set it with an embossing gun and then sealed the entire project with Maker's Magic.

Here's the video!   

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend.  

I hope you craft something beautiful today. 

Mwah!
