Jewelry Box

I wanted Rose to have a jewelry box for her 9th birthday, as she had recently gotten her ears pierced. But I didn't like any of the ones I could find for sale. They were either too old for her, cheaply made, too expensive, etc. So I decided to make one of my own. I decided to go with a lady bug theme because Rose loves them, and used coordinating paint, paper and embellishments.

Supplies:
wooden jewelry box
craft paint
scrapbooking paper pad (I used 5" x 7")
mod podge
3D stickers
letter stickers (for her name, edited out of pictures for privacy)
gem stickers

I painted the box lime green and allowed it to dry completely. While it was drying, I cut the paper I planned to use to size. I covered the sides and top, and placed cutouts on the drawer fronts. To attach, I applied a thin layer of mod podge to the box and added the paper. Then I applied a thin layer of mod podge over the top of the entire box. Allowed to dry completely. Then I added embellishments.
