I keep extra work gloves in an old baby wipes box. Because I use gloves for a lot of projects, I wanted to keep the box out in the open which meant the box needed to look a lot better! Mom likes a challenge so I thought I would let her work her magic and make the box cool enough to keep on my office shelf.
I headed to Mom’s house to give her the assignment and she was ready to go! She decided to give it an aged look. We have used this technique before to make Harry Potter style spell books for Halloween. Check out the video above to see how it came together! 
The glue was really thick and didn't want to come out of the bottle! It made mom laugh like a five year old!
Slather on the glue. This Rockler silicone brush makes it really easy!
To add a little interest, wrap some twine around the box randomly.
Some random mid-century metal piece mom picked up at a yard sale!
Crumple up some tissue paper and then uncrumple it!
More glue--now add the tissue paper.
Use the silicone brush to push the tissue paper down into the glue.
Oil-rubbed bronze spray paint--a favorite of ours!
Dry brush on a little (really just a tiny, tiny amount will work) silver Rub 'n Buff to bring out the nooks, edges, and wrinkles.
