This is my craftwork pride and joy right now...and it was really simple to make! Just took some patience. All you need is:

Print-outs of various Disney attraction posters
Decopauge
Sponge Brush
Scissors
Wooden Chest (I bought mine pre-made at JoAnns but if you're good with carpentry you could make your own)

And the finished product...

The Front:

Very, very easy! Just cut out your posters, apply a quick, light coat of decopauge to the wood on the chest where you're putting the poster, and stick it on! When you start to run out of space cut apart remaining posters and put paste them in blank spots. It can take awhile but it is so easy! I'd love to see someone else's finished product if they decide to do this.

I so want to make one for DD. Did you print out these posters off the computer through the Wikipedia page or did you order all of them?

I printed them off the computer...I just saved the images to my computer, pulled them up in Word Perfect, resized them to the size I wanted, and printed! :)
