Storage Box

1. Apply polka dots all over with Dotta Riffic black marker (figure A). Let marker dry (could take several hours) before handling.

   Tip: A pencil eraser dipped in paint also makes terrific dots.

2. Measure rick rack around the box lid and cut. Glue rick rack around the box lid with Fabri-Tac.

3. Take clip art frame and rubber stamp the name of the box contents (figure B). Apply Modge Podge with foam brush to the backside of the clip art frame and glue to the box.

4. Assemble vintage flowers into a pleasing arrangement and glue on top of the box lid (figure C) with Fabri-Tac.

5. Apply Mono Aqua Glue and then glitter to the tops of flowers and shake off excess.
