Here's my first Christmas present for the year. I realize it's only July! I had this navy blue box sitting around. I decided to decoupage it. I used some papers from last Christmas, from a DCWV mat stack. Also some glitter papers, the same brand, really too heavy to use. The corners turned up on the glitter paper. I just got some Matte Mod Podge, which is what I used for this project. I applied about 5 coats when I added the layers of paper and 5 more to finish. I just cut out random shapes and strips of paper. It turned out pretty good. I might add a layer of varnish later if I can figure out what kind to use. It took about 48 hours for it all to dry, in 2 hour increments and overnight twice.

Then I added the holiday papers:
This is the finished box with the glitter papers and layers of Mod Podge:
This is for someone who likes blue. Hmmm......!
