DIY Wall Art- using perfume/shoe box lid

Hey guys, long time no crafts!! 

I know, I know!! But here we are with a great idea to upcycle your shoebox/perfume box lid.

I'm sure you all have plenty of spare shoeboxes lying in the closet, get them out let's give them a beautiful makeover.. If you don't have any, what you waiting for? 

Time for new pair of shoes or a  perfume ;)

Isn't it great to reuse these boxes/lids, give them a new life and spruce up the bland walls with these inexpensive custom wall art? We have a couple of canvases hanging on the wall and this one looks almost like one of those. Looks great, if I may say so myself *smug face*

You'll need a box/lid which has a neat finish, sturdy and looks best if the edges are canvas-alike, say around 1 inch(refer pic)

Here's what you'll need :

1. shoe/perfume box lid
2. a photo of your choice/ old calender sheets/ fabric/decorative paper 
3. glue/mod podge
4. scissors
5. paint/duct tape (to cover the edges)

How to :

• Start by the cutting the photo (or calender sheet or fabric whichever you are using) large enough to cover the lid.
• Apply the glue on top of the lid and place the photo, smoothing out the bubbles and wrinkles.
• For the edges, you can either paint them with the suitable color, or I just happen to have matching duct tape. I just had to stick it all over the edges.
• Since it's really light weight, I just hung it using the board pin.. That's it.. You're all set!   

Now, what I made with the perfume box is another story for another time.. I promise I won't keep you waiting..
