Altered Coupon Box

This is one of my mothers birthday presents.. she is a coupon junkie! She somehow mastered the art of spending virtually nothing and getting a ton! I made this for her to store her coupons beautifully in. Her talent is more impressive than words can describe! Check her blog out http://www.justcallmejune.blogspot.com/ she gives details on just how to do it!

This was a fairly easy project.....

SUPPLIES: plain black photo box, scrapbook paper, and other medias (ribbon, chipboard letter, sliding tiles, fake flowers, vintage earing for flower middle)

WHAT WAS DONE: I measured and paper mached the paper on the box using Modge Podge, then glued 3 different ribbons- the perimeter of the box with brown ribbon (without lid on) then around the edge of the lid first with burgandy ribbon, and then sheer black polka dot ribbon overlapping. Across the top of the lid I glued brown ribbon and strung the letter tiles to spell "coupons." Next I glued the burgandy chipboard letters to spell out her name, and finally attached the flower and earing accent. *Don't forget to do the inside!
