You Will Need (5 things)

  • Plain Box
  • Decorative Paper
  • Adhesive
  • Scissors
  • Pencil(s)

Steps (4 steps, 5 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, start off with some decorative paper that you like, or think would match your box nicely.

  2. 2

    Next, Draw out (or print off) a silhouette of an image. It can be anything you like, flowers, animals, machines…

  3. 3

    Then, cut out the silhouettes from your decorative paper.

  4. 4

    Finally, arrange the cut outs however you like on the box and secure with adhesive. *hint* I personally like to add depth to projects, so I tend to secure a small spot on the cut out and curl or lightly fold some of the pieces up to give it a more 3D effect.
