I had a white box that I have been wanting to use to create a scene inside. My white blank board box didn't inspire me, I needed something more rustic. Dixie Belle paints were perfect for the project. The paints and glazes are great for any surface...wood, metal, glass, laminate, ceramic and even fabric! EVEN paper and cardboard!
Supplies:Dixie Bell Paint - ButterCream
My white box!!!!
I first painted the box with a thin almost dry coat of Dixie Bell Paint - ButterCream, the reason is the cardboard is pourous and I didn't want the Dixie Belle - Vandyke Glaze to soak into the cardboard.
There were a couple of removable pieces inside of the box, I removed them and painted them also.
Next I painted a light layer with an almost dry brush of Dixie Belle - Vandyke Glaze, that gave me the texture I was looking for on my box! Now I have a rustic box to work with.
Until next time!
Be you can't wait to see what I do with my box next!
great idea! Board books and such are ready to paint too, so the perfect item to work with! Can't wait for the next step!
