Decoupaged Red Sox Keepsake Box

As promised here are the pictures for 5 year old Will's birthday keepsake box.

His father is such a big Red Sox fan that he even proposed to his wife using the big screen method, thankfully she was in her seat and saw the giant proposal, not up out of her seat getting popcorn or going to the bathroom; but apparently he was very worried that she was going to miss it.

I am sure that if it was legal he would have conceived his children at a Red Sox game!

Decoupaged Princess Cigar Box

I wanted to give my little 5 year old great niece a "princess" keepsake box.
I used a cigar box I bought for a dollar at a local cigar store.

Well, after peeling off the paper labels, applying a base coat of gesso, a pink coat of paint, I needed to download some images of princesses so off I went to the Disney Wikipage, used their images, printed them on an ink jet printer used a fixative to prevent ink bleed, glued the images, after the images were dry I gave the whole thing a couple of healthy coats of mod podge to seal everything, added some major and minor bling and chipboard flowers, added some princessy items inside the box and finally holy hallelujah I was finished.

Stayed tuned for decoupage cigar box no. 2 a boy's keepsake with a baseball theme tomorrow.
