Sad old box gets a new lease of life!

Just a simple decoupage project using stamps.
This used to be a jewellery box and I've had it tucked away in my wardrobe for absolutely ages, where it's been gathering dust and not doing much else. My poor sewing box has been overflowing recently so I've re-purposed this as another sewing box.

I've used my hoarding of lovely stamps with fast-dry PVA and acrylic gloss varnish. A super easy project but I love the final outcome so I though I'd share it with you all :-)

Before:
 Positioning the stamps (although I did shift them around for the final "stick-down"!):
After:
I hope you like! It's just a bit more interesting than it was before.
 I might go for some extra decoration around the sides, but I haven't decided what yet. Do you have any thoughts? :-)
