Wooden Trunk covered using scrapbook paper and Mod Podge. This idea was given to me by AC Moore. The asked me to make a wooden trunk using the directions AC Moore provided. It has been years since I worked with Mod Podge and AC Moore had everything I need to make the task fun. I loved the idea of the trunk and the more I read the instructions I could not wait to try it. The inside had little cards decoupage inside.
The idea of this craft was from AC Moores designer Robin Beam.. Click here for Robins instructions Valentines Keepsake Trunk. Note: (the trunk size listed is a M the patterns and sku is for a small trunk) . I made the medium size which was larger so I adjust the templates. Robins Templates where for the small trunk.
Robin @ AC Moore did her trunk with different paper than I did. I choose 7 sheets of 12×12 scrapbooking paper open stock. (The apparel designers in me loved all the prints). But the instructions are the same.
- Remove hardwear, I painted the inside and outside corners/edges.
- I cut the templates, cut the scrapbook paper to size
- Follow instructions added the mod podge, place paper, and smoothed out all the bubbles.
- The tip Robin said about sanding the edges, the excess paper will just sand away.. seriously really rocks takes the trunk from a simple project to a quality piece. Make sure to remove all the dust from sanding, before applying next coat…..
- Be sure to read AC Moores full instructions.. Valentines Keepsake Trunk
By the time I finished I coated the Trunk with 5 different coats of Mod Podge .. I really love doing this project. I loke the medium size box it allows me to put a full 8 1/2″ X 11 Paper in it flat. My daughter keeps eyeing the box up.

LOVE this idea! I am thinking of making one for my Mom, Mother in law and my children’s Godmothers for Mother’s Day this year. Yours is so pretty 🙂
Kelly it was a ton of fun, and super easy make sure you have a roller to get the bubbles out.
I bought Modge Podge a while ago intending to do a project like this and then I just never did it. I think you’ve inspired me!
Hi, my name is Rajean and I’ve never used Modge Podge. But I’ve heard so much about it! I might have to give it a go, your trunk is wonderful.
