You can create all kinds of looks with this technique. All you need is a wooden or paper mache box and lots of old magazine or printed pictures like calendars or travel brochures. A little paint for the inside and you are set.
The idea is to think of the magazine pictures as color and patterns rather than what is i
n the picture. I choose a very warm pallet for this box but it could be any combination of colors. So start by tearing out colors from the magazines and separate them by colors. You can use advertisements and big background color too. Remember we are looking for color and pattern.

It's best to have several strips done before you start so you can just concentrate on the design and gluing once you get started.
Now it's just a matter of covering the box in your own design. After it's covered, you can paint the inside like I did. I painted it a dark orange and then covered it with a gold paint and wiped it off to create an antique look. Then added a faux jewel on top to finish it off.
