I used matte Mod Podge to create this fun and funky container. I started with a small, handmade, vintage, wooden (wow, that's a lot of adjectives) box that I found at a garage sale. I paid more than usual for that type of item, but something "spoke to me." It already had a very dated decoupage on one side, so I had to sand it the best I could.

Careful consideration went into each paper I chose because I needed to find or have something vintage to add to it to create the three dimensional aspect. I distressed the papers with ink and then used Mod Podge to adhere and finish. The result is something I truly love!

Each side of this little box has it's own personality. I embellished every side with something vintage -- bingo pieces, a tape measure, old watch parts and bottle caps. (no, the coke one isn't vintage, but it looked vintage to me).
The wire handle makes this piece easy to cart around craft supplies or whatever. It's for sale at my Etsy shop and even appeared in an Etsy Treasury: http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4c4af84372896d91cf9e7ff5/sum-of-many-parts
