Recycled Art Box

Today I am sharing the way I am making my little art box (for wall or as shelfsitter). I have several of these almost 4" x 6" sturdy old game boxes.

I first attached the lid to the bottom with masking tape. And glued some paper strips all around.  

And finished by gluing some paper on the front and back.  

I don't like mod podge or gesso so I transfered my own pattern directly on the vintage paper. 

I colored the image with my distress inks. 

Added some shadows 

Added some details 

Added more shadows 

Added some highlights and I was done. 

Enjoy art! 

Have a creative Sunday!
