Princess boxes

I love, love, love  paper mache!  Paint, decoupage, glitter....so many possibilities.  These were made for my adorable little cousin Ananiah.  Her birthday was a Disney Princess theme and I use the boxes as the centerpiece. (only one pic from the party - idk what happened to that memory card...) Materials : 2 paper mache round boxes (medium and large) Disney Princess scrapbook paper Disney Princess stickers Princess ribbon Paint (purple, pink and yellow)  "Princess" wood word (Michael's) diamond accent  initial letter (Michael's dollar bin) Additional views: Directions: prepare paper mache with sealer and let dry (not necessary but recommended) paint boxes inside and out (if covering with paper you can paint just the part that will be seen to save time and paint) adhere scrapbook paper to boxes and ribbons to rim of tops (permanent tape runner was used and worked very well , liquid adhesive will sometimes warp paper) use strong glue to adhere wood Pri
