Hello friends I hope you’ve been keeping well.  I have been busy trying to get all my holiday decorating and commitments out of the way so I can enjoy a nice long break with my family.
Maybe squeeze some painting in there as well. I’m really looking forward to it…:)
I wanted to quickly show these super cute Dollar Store boxes I ‘upgraded’ by using the Americana multi-surface  paint from DecoArt.

storageboxmakeovercraftberrybush-7 I used Black Tie as the color and a white marker for the lines.

Materials:

Wooden box from Dollar Store
Americana Multi-surface paint (black tie)
Brush
White Opaque Marker
Top Coat
Topper (optional)

1. Paint entire box with multi-purpose. Let it dry and apply a second coat. Allow to dry.  scandinavianstorageboxdiycraftberrybush-2
2. Using a marker, draw vertical lines across box.

4. Continue all the way across. I drew some extra perpendicular lines for more interest.

For the second box, I followed the same procedure, but this time, I drew a simple grid.  I spray painted a little gnome and glued it to the top. 🙂

  3. As a creative person and a writer for cheap custom writing service, I can say with confidence that this is a very interesting idea for a Wooden box.
    I mainly store stationery in such boxes.
    Since it is handmade, it fully complies with the size I need.
