The box!

Hi All

It is Friday! Hope your ready for the weekend! 
So today I have something a bit different! 
I have a box! Just a plain box! 


But when I'm done! I have a pretty Box!


This is one of my favorite Crafts for a few reason! The Biggest reason is it is a kids friendly craft. I'm not sure how many of you have kids. But it is sit down craft for you and them. Plus it is a craft that they can have at it and be as creative as they want! With little to no instruction. The next reason is its fun! And the next reason is that you and your kids can take any box with a lid paint it up and use it for things you want or gift it instead of wrapping stuff.


I used just plain old acrylic paint. I picked yellow. I do recommend if you use light colors for the base you prime the box with white if there anything dark on the box. Paint the top and bottom of the box. You can paint the insides to if you want! Then you paint.draw glue of paste you way to a beautiful Box! 


I just did some squiggely flower interweave things in the 4 colors. I'm using this for odds and ends my nails so i wrote nail in each color too. Nothing to hard that anyone can do!
I used Neon colors and the put a clear crystal sparkle over to give it that sparkle I love!


Don't you just love how it glows!!


Oh my son wanted his box on here. He was so proud of it. Funny thing is I normally can't get him to craft a lot with me. But this! He is hunting down boxes to paint!  The top look if but he used glow in the dark paint so it look awesome in the dark! And lots of glitter paint!
