Simple Collage Box

Supplies

• 1 Box: In the examples I used a wooden box (they are $1-5 at Michael's Crafts), but cardboard or metal boxes work just as well.
• Acrylic Paint (Optional): I have found that acrylic paint is cheap and works well but you may find another type of paint better suits the material of your box.
• Mod Podge: This is the most popular brand, but any kind decoupage gule/sealer will work.
• Collage Cut Outs: You can use magazines, photos, stickers or images that you print out yourself (that is what I did in the examples)

First, start by giving your box a couple of coats of paint and then let dry completely. If you do not want to add a color then you can skip this step

Cover your box with a coat of Mod Podge glue (It will dry clear). I suggest leaving the inner rim of the box uncoated so that it is not difficult to open.

Once you have applied a layer of Mod Podge, secure the collage cutouts to the box and wait for glue to dry. Once it is dry paint another layer of glue over the images.

Once it is dry, you have yourself a collage box. The examples pictured are part of a therapeutic activity that can be seen here.
