Pour PVA glue into a small container, thenDip the brush into it and begin to coat the entire surface of the box with it. Attach the image to the lid of the box and immediately apply glue on top of the image. Don't be alarmed if white streaks of glue remain; PVA, after drying, becomes transparent.

Glue the card or napkin neatlymovements to avoid the formation of wrinkles and air bubbles. If they have already formed, lift the image and apply glue again. The lid of the box is left until completely dry. The next stage of work moves to the bottom of the box.
This plane of the box, using decoupage technique, will be decorated with white lace. It is necessary to measure the length and cut a suitable piece.
Since the decoupage of the box is done in a vintagestyle, the lace needs to be aged. This is done with your own hands. Take acrylic paints and spread a dirty beige shade on a plate. Lay the lace on newspaper so as not to smear the table. Next, dip the sponge into the paint and apply it to the material. Do this until you get the expected effect of the old look. Wait until the material is completely dry, and then turn it over to the other side and coat it with glue. Glue the lace to the side of the box.
