STEPS
TOOLS
Gather your materials
Add some paint on the edges of the inside of the box. Most of it will be covered with paper.
Cut a piece of patterned paper to fit on the inside lid and secure it using mod podge
Cover the entire box with different types of washi tape
When the box is completely covered with the tape, cover the entire thing with mod podge or gel medium to help the tape stick and also to protect it from sun damage and give it a finished look. Let dry
While the box is drying, assemble the nest. Wrap the lace and yarn around it. You can secure with a little hot glue.
Attach the bird nest to the inside of the box. Put some glue on the inside of the lid too, so that the lid remains open.
Hot glue the little crown charm in the bird's head
Continue to embellish the box using the paper flowers and adding the keyhole at the bottom.
