So I have a box, it was plain and slightly..so I wanted it to look prettier and more decorative, and here is what I came up with :)
HOW TO REVAMP A BROWN CRAFT BOX FOR LOVELY STORAGE
HOW TO REVAMP A BROWN KRAFT BOX
FOR STORING KEEPSAKES ETC
Materials:
- Brown craft box (can be found in any craft store or gift store in a variety of shapes and sizes)
- Poster paint (I chose the gold coloured, water-based, non-toxic variety, so that smudges will be easy to clean)
- Fabric paint pens in multiple colours (or coloured glue will work just fine as well, as well as glitter glue)
Equipments:
Step 1 : Gather
the materials
Step 2 : Place
some of your poster paint (I chose one in gold) in your bowl/container and mix
it up with your brush to ensure its paintable/spreadable in consistency.
Step 3 : Begin my
painting the top part of your box, making sure that the paint is evenly
applied, more so if your color choice is less shimmery.
Step 4 : Paint
the top bottom part of your box as well, let dry completely. Since I used
poster color, it was dry to the touch in 15 minutes. The drying time may vary
depending on humidity and type of paint you used.
Step 5 : Paint the
sides of both the bottom and top part of your box, making sure not to get too
much on your hands (As you can see, I did not succeed in that part but hooray
because I used a perfectly washable poster paint)
Step 6 : Let dry
for around 30 minutes until perfectly dry. This step is crucial and you must
ensure that the paint is really dry for the next step or else the fabric paint
might smudge.
Step 7 : Draw designs on the side of your box’s lid using your
fabric paint pens or coloured glue. The ones that I have come with an
applicator tip, just like what you see on elmer’s glue.
Step 8 : Allow to
dry for a bit and take a look at it to plan what else you can draw on it.
Step 9 : Work on
the main box, allow ample time before adding design elements.
Step 10 : Here I
was letting it dry. Looks like it needs more color on it to make it look more
interesting.
Step 11 : I added
some dots and it started to look like a mini cake, it’s cute!
Step 12 : I
decided to write a word on the lid, you can chose to draw something or write
your name on it as well. I named it for my dog :) Plan out the placement to
ensure you got adequate space, I decided to wing it.
Step 13 : There
it is! Looking nice already. Let dry
Step 14 : I
decided to add some more drawings on it so the color palette would be the same
all throughout. Let dry.
Step 15 : Enjoy your revamped brown kraft box! You can use it to hold souvenirs, knick-knacks, or as a personalized gift box!
