Cardboard Box Craft

Cardboard Box Monogram Craft

This craft is SUPER easy...even for the extremely craft challenged!  You only need a couple of items and VIOLA!

Items Needed:

Cardboard Box or Lid - (I used a flat/case that held 12 soup cans)
Base Paint Color (I used treehouse green that matches my accent wall in the kitchen)
Accent Paint Color (I used acrylic black in gloss)
Cheap Foam Brush (available at Walmart for under a $1)
Cardstock to print Font on OR vinyl letter
Scissors
Elmer's Glue Mixed with Water (3/4 glue to 1 part water)

Directions:

First paint the box the color of your choice & let dry
Add another coat if needed & let dry
Clean Brush or Use Separate One
Dip tip of brush in accent color and dab along the edges of box to create a border & let dry
Select your cardstock for the monogram.  In MS Word I used a fancy font and printed an 'R' at 400%.  (The 'F' box holds 24 soup cans so the font is at 800%) Then I cut it out with scissors.  I then painted the 'R' in the same black accent color and let it dry.  Once dry, use your clean brush and apply an even amount of glue and place on box.  Finally,  coat the top and sides of the box in the glue to seal it.  Let dry and display
