I also had bought two very cheap metal pill boxes at a dollar store and them being on my table together was the inspiration for doing this little project.
You can use any size of box for this project so it will work in many different scales. The box can be metal like mine or wood or even cardboard.
You will need Mod Podge to glue down the paper printies and for the final coat of varnish. I actually did two coats on my boxes.
Printies are very easy to find on Pinterest ; just try mini printables. For the box on the left I used vintage perfume labels and the other one has pictures of Paris as a theme. I just printed them as small as my printer would allow me to print them. Ordinary printer paper will be fine.
I did cover both the outside and the inside of my boxes because I did not like the shiny metal. But that is totally up to you. If you want to open and close the boxes do not cover the hinges with your decoupage and make sure you also do not cover up the clasp.
I am going to use my boxes as storage boxes but they will also make great gift boxes or even suitcases with a handle hadded.
