I bought a new sewing/craft box that looked a bit boring, so thought I'd use the pictures from a Klimt calender I couldn't bear to throw out.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • PVA Glue
  • Tissue Paper
  • Old Calendar
  • Varnish

Steps (3 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Paste the whole box with gold tissue paper glued with pva (make sure glue dries clear and not white). Use the brush to smooth out paper.

  2. 2

    Cut out your favourite pictures/parts of pictures and glue over the top of the tissue paper in the same way.

  3. 3

    Allow to dry and varnish with a clear glossy varnish to protect the pictures and create a nice lacquered finish.
