I once tried to buy the URL “piratestyle.com” and it was taken. I’m not quite sure what I would have done with it, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. The point is that I like pirate stuff. So does Gina from East Coast Mommy, and she’s here today with a guest post showing you how to make your own treasure chest with a picture of your cute pirates (kids) on the top. Here’s the tutorial.

Hi everyone . . . I am Gina from East Coast Mommy, and I couldn’t be more excited to be guest posting at Mod Podge Rocks! {Don’t you just love the great ideas here?}
Today, I am sharing a project I did with my boys {6, 4, and 2} — a pirate treasure box.
I started off with this plain wooden box from the Dollar Store.
Then I painted the box with brown paint and let dry.
Finally, I printed out a picture of my favorite pirates, and used Mod Podge to attach it to the top of the box. Adhere the picture, let dry for 15 – 20 minutes, then add a top coat.
It’s just that simple! Cute, right? Thank for letting me share my little project with you. I had a lot of fun.

Thanks Gina! This project would make a fabulous box not only for a child’s room, but also as a favor box for a pirate party. It’s so cute (as are her little pirates). Please visit her at East Coast Mommy for more great project ideas.
Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.
And only $1.25 wooohooo wonderful! This makes a GREAT DIY gift for Mother’s Day!I know even my mom (65+ years young) will LOVE iT!
Cool!! Amazing
It is so much fun to see my little project on your site. Thanks so much for letting me share it here!
did you use a photo paper to print the picture or bond paper? this is really cute!
I used regular paper. I found the lighter weight worked better than photo paper.
Oh my! So cute! What a great party favor idea.
I made a big treasure chest out of a diaper box and some fabric once.
Love the pirate treasure chest. Too cute. I did one once with a copy paper box , paint and papier mache. It turned out really cute. I used it as the party favor treasure for my son’s birthday. Papier mache was cute and relatively easy. I bet mod podge would have made it a lot easier. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Easy and adorable!!! I was thinking it would be very cute as a party favor! Even for a craft at a birthday party for all the guests to do!
