Decorative Box Facelift

EASY - Boxes that I've had for years received a facelift. 

After

Before

Directions:

Use acrylic paint (even spray paint) and cover the lid and box. Allow to dry.

Since I used black paint I needed a brighter color to trim the edges with.  I used silver ink for stamping  with a small sponge.  Mind was a craft sponge, but even a rag bunched together will work.  Just dab all of the edges and corners of lid and box.  Let dry. 

I popped the stem off of a fake slower and hot glued it onto the box.  (Make sure you only glue the flower on the lid or box.)

Since my box has a handle I used a piece of leftover hem from my kitchen curtain and tied a bow.
