Another Churchy Bit

Rosary boxes, made by the fourth graders.
Next year, I'm going to move this project to older kids.  The final boxes were nice, but I did this once with older girls and the results were much more aesthetically pleasing - not just a picture slapped on top of the boxes.  But a little lacquer did wonders.

What is the original materal for the box? Do you guys use decoupage?

I buy the boxes at a craft store for a dollar each. Then, we use torn bits of tissue paper, and really any other pictures (I copied these on my color copier)...and diluted Elmer's glue. Then after they are dry, I spray them with lacquer. My daughter and I have made some that are really very nice.....even the ones the fourth graders do aren't bad looking.
