turn a small wooden box into a work of art!

At a garage sale I bought a large Christmas tree decoration that was broke but had press on mirrors all over it. I decided to mirror this small box I never use and turn it into a work of art. I painted the box white on the outside then when dry I pressed on the mirrors to cover the entire box. Then I took gloss mod podge and covered it twice so that these mirrors will never come off! It turned out so beautiful! the ornament cost me about 50 cents for all the mirrors I have and the box used maybe 1/6 of what there was. Happy crafting!
