A bread box find.
This was the inside of the bread box.
This was the back of the bread box. There were three layers of sticker and contact paper.
I tried to remove the stickers and contact paper but was not able to remove any of them. So, I removed the back and added a new fitted wood backing.
I removed the sticker from the top and side of the bread box, gave it a good cleaning and filled all the holes with wood filler.
Next, I gave the bread box a good sanding and again wiped it clean.
I chose Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint Caviar because I wanted a dark bread box.
I applied two coats to the bread box.
I printed out the word bread…
and a print of an image of a loaf of bread.
I wanted to paint the inside of the box a light color since the outside was a dark color. I chose Rust-Oleum Chalked Linen White paint.
Then decoupage the word bread to the inside back of the bread box.
Then the loaf of bread image to the base of the bread box.
The next day I rubbed off the paper from the images with a little bit of water until all the paper was removed and I had clear images.
The last thing to do was to add a couple of coats of topcoat to the inside and the outside of the bread box.
