Pattie’s Pointer: Usually hat boxes come in nests of 3 or more. To make a colorful statement to any room, simply do all of the boxes in coordinating trims and stack in that dreary corner to not only brighten things up, but to also organize clutter!

Steps:
1.
Spray paint entire box black in a well ventilated area. (preferably outdoors.) Let dry.
2. Trace around top of box onto back of angel poster. Cut inside trace lines.
3. Glue to box top with decoupage glue. Brush top coat over entire box top to seal. Let dry.
4. Tie knots in upholstery trim and glue to edge of box top.
5. Measure box sides and cut embossed paper according to measurements. Cut 
inside trace lines.
6. Glue to box sides with decoupage glue. Brush top coat over entire box sides to seal. Let dry.
7. Put lid on box. Glue trim around bottom edge of box.
8. Tie knots in upholstery trim and glue to under edge of box top onto box sides. Glue charms in between knots onto trim.
