I think I took a trip to crazy town for this little treasure box. It was a fun little trip! LOL- Really, I wasn't so sure what I was going to do with this box. So, I decided to stain the wood. Once the stain dried it seemed to be just about the same color as the original wood. That's when I decided to slap some yellow acrylic paint on my finger and experiment. I was in a playful mood and the ink was right there, beside a squiggly little stamp. Before I knew it, the box was covered in little beige squiggles. Is that a word?
Honestly, I think I'm going to revisit this project later and Mod Podge over it or something! I'll be sure to share my adventures with you if I decide to revisit this crazy little box!
Your kids have great bright colors in their rooms. You should let them keep special items in these boxes.
ReplyDeleteI get so irritated when I want to stain something and it ends up looking exactly the same!! I assumed the natural finish stain would still add some character.
ReplyDeleteI like it. Leave it like it is. You'll find a use for it.
ReplyDeleteYou can count squiggles as a word in the craft world....aka swirls. We follow our own dictionary.
