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.
