Ideas for Decorating Toy Boxes
Most craft stores sell unpainted flat wooden letters. Purchase the correct letters for your child's name and paint with coordinating craft paints. Arrange these letters on the toy chest lid to add a personalized touch. Craft stores also sell a variety of wooden figures such as flowers, bugs, clouds, animals, cars and boats. Choose a combination of letters and figures. You can easily stick these to the painted wood surface with a hot glue gun.
If you have any leftover wallpaper or border paper, cut out some of the designs on the wallpaper. You can cut just a few to place on the corners of the lid or randomly place the designs all over the box. Plan your design and then wet the back of the wallpaper and stick it to the toy chest. Apply a small amount of craft glue to any edges to help prevent lifting.
