Autumn is a season of texture, color, and quiet transformation and your home décor can reflect that beautifully. One of the most charming ways to celebrate fall is by creating custom decoupage hat boxes using leaf print tissue paper. These boxes aren’t just decorative; they double as storage for your seasonal decorations, keeping everything tidy and ready for next year.
Materials You’ll Need:
Round or oval hat boxes (cardboard or
papier-mâché work best)
Leaf print tissue paper (like the one
shown above)
Decoupage glue (e.g., Mod Podge)
Soft brush or sponge applicator
Scissors
Optional: matte sealant spray for
added durability
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prep Your Surface
Wipe down the hat boxes to remove any dust or residue. If the surface is
glossy, lightly sand it to help the glue adhere better.
2. Cut Your Tissue Paper
Trim the leaf print tissue paper into manageable sections. You can cut around
individual leaves for a collage effect or use full sheets for a seamless wrap.
3. Apply the Glue
Using your brush, apply a thin layer of decoupage glue to a small section of
the box. Gently press the tissue paper onto the glue, smoothing out wrinkles
with your fingers or a soft sponge.
4. Layer and Seal
Continue working in sections until the entire box is covered. Once dry, apply a
top coat of glue over the paper to seal it. Let it dry fully before stacking or
storing.
5. Style Your Display
Stack your finished hat boxes near a cozy corner, entryway, or mantel. Add a
small pumpkin, dried leaves, or acorns for a seasonal decorations that feels
both curated and organic.
