DIY Floral Painted Wooden Box
INSIDE : Learn how to create a DIY floral painted wooden box using whimsical scrapbook paper! A simple statement piece for any room in your home.
Yesterday I was completely inspired while walking the aisles of JoAnn Fabric! I found some amazing scrapbook paper and knew it belonged on this DIY Floral Painted Wooden Box. (And I may have made two other projects right away using other paper from this scrapbook paper pad because to have florals and pineapple prints in the same bundle… amazing.)

How do I make a Painted Wooden Box with Scrapbook paper?
Start by measuring the lid of your wooden box and cutting down your scrapbook paper to match. I held mine up to the lid a few times and trimmed off small pieces for a perfect fit.
Before securing the paper onto the top, I got all the painting out of the way. I used this vibrant green color as a contrast to the soft florals. I only painted the lower half of the box, including the interior rim.
After the paint had sufficiently dried, it was time to adhere my paper to the box. I love Martha Stewart Decoupage Matte because it dries clear and doesn’t have any shine. I painted a layer on the wooden box and then a layer on the back of the paper. Then I was sure to push out an excess on the edges and then flipped it paper down to dry flat.
I love the little pop of color when you open the box, having painted the interior rim.
This little box would make a perfect inexpensive gift, as my box was only ONE DOLLAR. And unless you buy new scrapbook paper, this little DIY potentially is under a few dollars to make!
I’m really loving the bold color, natural wood and softness of the floral pattern.
Isn’t that paper just gorgeous?

This is such a lovely box! The paper is so pretty and I love that green accent on the bottom! Thank you so much for sharing at Sweet Inspiration #6! Have a lovely day!
This is so pretty! It would make a great gift. I love the combo of natural wood with the floral pattern!
I thought about giving this to my mom, but I couldn’t part with it! 😉 I’ll have to make a few so it’s not so hard to give them away, hee hee.
My goodness – I love that paper! Scrapbook paper has really come a long way! This box would be perfect on a bedside table!
Isn’t that paper amazing? I’ve got to find a bigger box next time!!
I don’t have words to explain, how much I love the result. The bottom matches so well with the beautiful floral print!!
Oh thank you, Marwa!! It was fun to go kind of bold on the bottom with that Granny Smith green color. 😉
What is the name of the Scrapbook Paper pad that you are using ??? I love the design, and pineapples. Thank you for a great little project.
