Instructions

  • Paint the box inside and out with chalky brown craft paint and let it dry completely.
  • Next, begin adding the quilling strips with Mod Podge. I recommend starting on one side and leaving the excess hanging off. Use scissors to trim off any excess.
  • Use a pencil to draw a line across the top in the center. Then start adding two different color strips on either side of the line.
    Just as before, use Mod Podge to adhere them and let the excess hang over the side. Trim off any excess with scissors.
  • Once the box is covered completely, allow the Mod Podge to dry completely.
    Brush an extremely dry brush (with barely any paint on it) with a little bit of white paint on it across the strips.
  • Allow that paint to dry completely. Finally, apply 2 – 3 coats of super gloss Mod Podge over the entire surface, letting it dry completely in between coats.
