Decoupaged Treasure Box

Decoupaged Treasure Box
This old, musty flatware case was destined for the dump before I decided to make it into a "Mom's Treasure Box".   I love giving things a second life...I'm forever rummaging around at junk stores - much to the amusement of my family.

I found a book of bird stickers from the bookstore that I never used for anything and decided that they would be perfect to decorate the box. 

You'll need:
 Blue and gold paint, primer paint (any white paint will work), decoupage medium, stickers or pictures, sand paper, white glue,  polyurethane, felt.

Step 1

I ripped out the stinky innards that held the flatware then washed and dried it. 
Sand it lightly, then cover it in white paint (I used gesso).
