Materials:
- Shoe Box
- Paint
- Used Greeting Cards
- Glue
Instructions:
Paint the outside of the shoe box with the desired color, red or green would be great for Christmas cards (you can also use a paper mache box available at most crafts stores). Let the paint dry.
Cut out the picture or scene on the front of several greeting cards. Arrange the pictures or scenes on the sides and top of the shoe box to cover as much of it as possible. You can also try to create scenes with the pictures. Glue them into place and let the glue dry completely.
Using watered-down glue, paint over the box to seal it. You should use approximately 1 part glue to 1 part water. You can also use Mdoge-Podge or any other decoupage medium. Apply 2 - 3 coats, making sure each coat dries completely beefore adding the next.
