Tin Ceiling Decorative Boxes

I found a cute set of round wooden boxes with lids at the thrift store recently. 

I stained the boxes and gave them knobs for handles but then realized I could do more. 

Using a fun tin ceiling tile from the dollar store and gave these cute little boxes an easy and amazing makeover! 

Take a look...

This was an easy project for sure! I started with a couple of stained wooden boxes found at the thrift store.

I'm also using a peel and stick tin ceiling tile from Dollar tree. I traced the round box and cut out the tile removing the sticky backing.

I glued the circles to the top of the boxes using hot glue and E6000. 

I painted the stained wooden boxes with a coat Fusion Mineral Paint in Raw Silk.  

As you can see I gave the boxes just one quick coat so when I distress the box the stain will show through. 

I used a Distress Ink stamp pad to distress the tin ceiling texture.  The color I used is called Tea Dye. 

I found out the hard way that you can not use sandpaper to distress the plastic tile because it just turns white.

Around the edge of the tile I added a length of light colored jute to blend the cut edge with the box top. 

Lastly, I sanded the edges of the wooden box with sandpaper, rubbed on a little more distress ink and then added a knob to the center of the top. 

These cute little boxes look so much better now with just a quick $1.25 update.
