Mod Podge - Coaster box

I worked with Mod Podge for the first time.. and boy did I get messy. After making a few mistakes (on scrap pieces) I finally figured out how to not get bubbles under the paper... BONE folder! It made such a big difference!


This box can be used for anything... Its nice and spacious.. you can put your crayons, markers, scissors, you can add flower pens in it..(that would be so pretty!), the list is endless!

Materials used: 5 chipboard coasters 4" by 4", flowers(any embellishments), ribbons, scrapbooking paper, glue, scissors, mod podge, foam brush, sandpaper/sandblock.





I wasn't able to take step by step pics this time because I was experimenting myself and making mistakes so I needed full focus.

Quick directions:
Choose coordinating scrapbooking paper...
Cut them using chipboard coasters as template or in 4" by 4"... Clip corners if you like to make them rounded(i did).
Mod podge on blank coaster and mod podge on paper...
Stick together carefully using bone folder to get rid of any air bubbles that form... Let dry.
Sand the edges so it looks neat
Do that with all four sides then paint over with mod podge (as many layers as you like but allow sufficient drying time in between).
Punch holes on the sides(i used my zutter bind it all).
Add ribbon and embellishments.
Glue bottom piece to the project.

I was inspired to do a mod podge project because of Mod Podge Mania. Go there to see other Mod Podge projects :)
