A Tiny Change

You might recall my posting about this box.  It is one of the items I picked up at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago.  I believe it is a greeting card organizer/holder and I had been looking for something similar for just that purpose.  

 It’s in good shape and clean; I just didn’t care for the floral on the top of the lid.  So I grabbed some scrapbook paper that would work with the existing colors and something new ~ paper tape {or some name like that}.  I cut the paper to fit the top and applied that with some Mod Podge.  Once that dried I did a coat on top of the paper.

 When the top coat of Mod Podge had dried, I used this paper tape all along the edges of the paper.   This works for me because I tend to cut things crooked ~ and that’s with my reading glasses on!   This is my first time using this tape and I really like it as not only another adhesive type tool, but also for what it adds to a project.

 For that portion of the lid where it meets the base, I clipped the back off of a button and hot glued it on to the existing “dot”, which you can just see in the first picture above. 

 Just a little bit of bling!

Not a major project by any means, but I like this organizer a lot better this way.  Now I just need to get some cards to fill it with!
