Chatterbox

COST: less than $5.00

here's what you'll need...

• Paper Mache box - size is up to you - the sample was about 6" x 6". Or you can forgo the decortate-it-yourself thing altogether and use a ready-to-go container of your liking.
• Scrapbook paper - 12x12 - Let your imagination go wild - you can do matchy-matchy, or do the contrasting-colors-and-prints thing. It's all about you!
• Acrylic Paint
• Embellishments if you choose
• Quote and instructions for the top and inside of box - scroll down for downloads
• Set of Questions - keep scrolling...

here's what you'll do with it all...

[if you go with the paper mache box]

• Paint the inside of the box if you would like.
• Cut your paper- I add about an inch to my measurement so I can fold it over the bottom edges and have them look clean and finished. I usually keep my top edge in line with the top of my box. You could also paint both the inside and outside, instead of papering - use stamps, or other accents to dress it up.
• Cover your box - be generous with the application of your glue stick - be sure and go all the way to your edges so you get a really good seal to prevent peeling. I prefer a glue stick, less bubbles and wrinkling, but you can also use a tacky glue.
• Attach your embellishments
• Paste quote to the outside and the instructions to the inside.
