Instructions in 5 steps Firstly, spread the white paint as a primer onto the MDF boxes. Then you can coat it with the DecoMaché paper by means of the decoupage glue. And this is how it works:

Step 1

Cover entirely the MDF-box with the All purpose paint – snow-white.

Step 2

Cut apart the DecoMaché paper centrally allong its long side.

Step 3

Once the paint has dried well out, spread firstly one side of the MDF-box evenly with the Decoupage glue & glossy varnish by using the brush. Now to proceed further, you need a helper.

Step 4

Put the paper with its edge onto a sideward edge of the box. The other person must hold by far the remaining paper over the wet glue, so that the paper can be placed evenly.

Step 5

Now, piece by piece, the paper is placed in the adhesive and carefully pressed. Spread the glue onto the second side panel and proceed in the same way. At the third side, take the other half of the DecoMaché sheet and repeat the whole process. Glue the paper onto all of the 4 sides over the narrow upper edge of the box. Once the glue has dried out completely, cut off the protruding paper exactly at the edge with the utility knife and seal the box with a varnish – once or twice with the glue & glossy varnish.

Proceed in the same way with the small box.
