DIY Decoupage Book Boxes

What happens when you have some Modge Podge laying around and some beautiful marbelized paper and a gold leafing pen? These cool book boxes is what happens! This DIY was easy, fun, with a cute result. Here is what you will need:

1| Modge Podge

2| Any kind of paper. I used this beauty from PaperSource

3| Gold Leafing Pen

4| Cardboard book box from Joann

5| Sponge Brush

And not only are they cute, you can hide treasure inside. They would look great as an accessory on a shelf or table around the house....or if you are a really good friend as the box to someone's gift. I'm not that nice I think I'm keeping these. I have a ton of that beautiful paper left over....I may try a tray or something. Decoupaging is so fun! Who knew!?

I first cut the paper to fit the outside. Then modge it on. I did several coats. I'm guessing around 6. It dries pretty quickly. Then I gold leafed the edges. And voila!
