Shabby? or Shappy Chic? Today I finally put the finishing touches on a little project I’ve been playing around with for a while now.
A decoupage box for storing our parking permits. The parking lot for guests in our co-op is very strict on all cars needing a parking permit. No permit = a hefty fine!
It started out as a box of baby cereal…from Nestlé
I tore apart an old book – into different shapes, inked the edges with Ranger Distress Ink in the color “Tea Dye” before I decoupaged it onto the box with Mod Podge. Added a book label on the front as a finishing touch.
And voila!
Here with a few permits inside…
It was fun playing around with decoupage. Only done it one time before, and that project I gave away…
Only downside is that you have to work with the Mod Podge in a well ventilated room, or as I did – took breaks often. So you might need some patients…
- have you done any decoupaging?
- do you live in a co-op with strict/“crazy” parking rules?
