Renew, Create, Restore: modge podge

You gotta love a challenge and using materials from the Dollar Store is an economical way to make a super gift box.

I bought this great box for $1 and then typed out a page of the word "LOVE" in all different fonts. I made a few copies and then used a wet tea bag to stain the pages to look old.

I was going to use modge podge, but the cost seemed a lot so I used plain white craft glue and watered it down. After adhering the words I gave it one more coat of the watered down glue and left it to dry. It's now the perfect box to wrap homemade treats, jewelry or any other gift for that special someone.
