Have you ever tried paper mosaic? It is an easy way to make a mosaic that looks like broken china! Just pick out floral papers that look like china. Then cut the paper into “tiles.”
How To Make A Paper Mosaic Heart Box
Tools and Materials
Paper mache heart box
Plaid Folk Art Multi-Surface Acrylic Craft Paint – Wicker White #901
ModPodge
large rose scrapbook paper
floral printed scrapbook paper
scrapbook paper: pink
paintbrush
scissors
Steps
1. Paint the craft box and lid white.
2. Cut out a large rose. Glue on the center of lid using ModPodge.
3. Cut pink tiles and ModPodge onto the lid around the edge as a border. Repeat to make a pink tile border on the sides of the lid. Cut smaller floral paper into tiles and fill in between the pink border and the center flower. Paint over the surface with ModPodge.
4. Cut pink tiles and ModPodge onto the box sides along the bottom edge. Cut medium-sized roses out and ModPodge to the center of the sides. We did three per side. Cut smaller floral paper into tiles and fill in between the border and the center flower (leave a gap at the top edge so the lid will fit on the box.) Paint over the surface with ModPodge.
That is pretty, I am going to try it.
Thanks! It’s really fun to make!
I made this for my granddaughter in Cheetah and round box! Not only was it fun, it really was easy. She’s going to love it! Now if I could just find Wonder Woman paper to do one for her sister!
What a fun idea Teresa!
