Honolulu Aunty can't bear to throw away well-made boxes, and knowing that I feel the same way gave me a box like the one below to recycle. I wondered if painting the box would work, and it did! I was pretty surprised at how it came out.
The bottom of the box is black so I decided to go with a black theme for the top.
I first painted the surface with Liquitex Black Gesso.
Then I brushed on some of the metallic inks that I got from Ross.
j: I feel the same about boxes AND nice shopping bags w/ rope handles. I kept them but found out it's a wonderful nesting site for roaches so now I use 'em for my non-wet trash cans. I L O V E what you did to the starbucks box, but what you going use 'em for. Gorgeous -N

I kept a couple of those boxes but just the bottom...I wished I kept the top. Never knew how pretty it could turn out.
looks like it is lacquered, pretty!
Jalna, I really like how you transformed the box. Nice choice of colors on the black background. It is now awesome!!!
Thanks, Izsmom!
