Pizza Box Wall Art

Crafts from recycled materials can look good and light up a room! One example of this idea is Pizza Box Wall Art from Heidi Borchers. Decorate your space by repurposing an old pizza box. It's a great way to help the environment!


 

Materials:

• Pizza box (or any flat type box) under 12”
• Scrapbooking paper 12” x 12” (use wrapping paper if over 12”)
• Aleene’s Original Tacky Glue
• Aleene’s Crystal Clear Tacky Spray (or the new Aleene’s Tacky Tape runner)
• Rubber bands
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Stylus
• Embellishments – buttons, marbles, letters, jewelry, painted tissue paper…and any odds n ends you have

Instructions:

1. Clean the inside of the pizza box.
   
   
    
2. Using the Aleene’s Tacky glue, glue all of the flaps down.
   
   
    
3. Place rubber bands onto the box to help hold while glue dries.Remove rubber bands.
   
   
    
4. Measure top of box. Draw the measurement on wrong side of paper.
   
   
    
5. Using the stylus. Lightly score on the pencil lines.
   
   
    
6. Carefully fold on the scored lines.
   
   
    
7. Spray the wrong side of the paper with the Aleene’s Tacky spray, or use the Aleene’s Tacky Tape runner on all edges that will touch box.
   
   
    
8. Carefully line the paper up with the box and press into place.
   
   
    
9. Measure and cut the sides, repeat spray glue steps.
   
   
    
10. The final side will have flaps. Cut the paper according to cover the flaps. This will be the bottom of the canvas, to hang items from.
    
    
     
11. Layout the pieces the way you want them first before gluing. Then glue each piece into place using the Aleene’s Tacky Glue.
