    Craft Art - Instruction image 1

    Step One - Cover the box with a coat of white paint as a base. Using the black puff paint, paint in the black stripes on the lid, making sure some of them will carry on down to the sides of the box. Allow the black paint to dry then fill in the areas between with the white puff paint.

    Step Two - Place the lid onto the main body of the box and draw in where the lid overlaps the box and where the stripes need to be placed, so that they carry on down from the lid.

    Tricks of the Trade

    Puff Paint - Drying
    To get a professional finish paint puff paint in two layers allowing each layer to dry completely before carrying on with the next step. Leaving overnight to dry in a dust free warm room is ideal.
