Decorated Trunks

Decorated TrunksMaterials Needed:
Wood Trunk (any size)
Acrylic Paint
Paint brush and/or sponge
Varnish or acrylic sealer
Elf Dust glitter (optional)
Screwdriver
Sandy Lion Wall Stickers or any images of your choice. Just remember that any item that is not self-adhesive will need to be glued into place.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. To make painting easier and neater, use a small screwdriver to remove the hardware from the trunk and set these pieces aside.

2. Use a brush or a sponge to paint the trunk. If you plan to use multiple colors you can achieve different results by waiting for the paint to dry between colors, or by adding a new color while the first color is wet and blending as you go.

4. Brush or spray your sealer over the whole box.

5. Brush on the Elf Dust Glitter now if you've decided to use it. Note: If you are using a spray sealer you may want to add another coat after the glitter is dry. Paint-on varnish will smear it.

6. Replace the hardware.
