Mod Podge Toy Box Transformation

Christina
by Christina

My first time mod podging and it was so easy to use! Once I got control of the wrinkles, everything went pretty smooth! I love the transformation and so do the kids! Check out the How-to..

Before

Using Mod Podge, chalk paint, and rolls of paper, our toy box has transformed into something to appreciate! Start by painting the toy box with chalk paint of your choosing. I chose Bisque.

Now add the paper using your Mod Podge! For step by step instruction on how to Mod Podge, check out my full instructions on my blog!

Add thin layer of Mod Podge!

Add paper and roll out the wrinkles! Then add final top coats of Mod Podge!

Finished!

Using 2 different kinds of patterns made the toy box interesting and unique. I'm in love with the colors too! It's brighter and fun to look at, but also still serves its purpose.

    I have a toy box that has been Mod podge with magazine covers. I would like to change it out for my grandkids. What prep is necessary to change to different covers and Mod podge?

    I have the same chest I bought it about 25 years ago at Service Merchandise and I have never thought to redo it but you have just changed my mind.

      Awesome! Glad it inspired you! It has so much personality now and makes a statement instead of blending in with its surroundings.

    Yes, among other well intended projects. We have an old very ugly storage chest. This gives me hope to create something unique and useful for our finished basement or to sell/gift. Better than totes stacked everywhere.
