Today, I got my long awaited chance to make my decoupage/collage box. First thing this morning, though, the girls got to watch Howl's Moving Castle (the Miyazaki film) again since we finally finished the book last night. After that, we did some math and spelling work.
At about 1:30pm, our friends Kim and Marisa came over and we got right to work on our boxes. I have a lot of scraps saved from years of scavenging and collecting paper products. I don't like having to store it, but I love being able to pull it out and have fun with it. I have several boxes full!
We used plain wooden boxes which I got at Michaels craft store. They were only $1.00 each. Next time, I might try the papier mache boxes they sell. The project would probably turn out pretty much the same. I completely forgot to take photos the whole time our friends were here, so I don't have photos of their finished boxes.
However, here are our finished boxes.
This one is the one Juno made.
This is Freyja's finished box.
And here is my finished box.
This was a great project for children and grownups as well. It kept us occupied for a couple of hours straight.
Catch you on the flip-side.
