Posted by DecoArt on Jan 22nd 2021

Make this drab-to-fab box for a desk or a gift with DecoArt Pouring Medium™.

SUPPLIES

paper towels
X-Acto® knife
craft sticks
wooden skewer
string
small flat brush
disposable cups
hot glue gun with clear glue sticks
grate
wooden bead
medium oval brush
paper mache cupcake box

INSTRUCTIONS

For the papier mâché cupcake shape, pick a wooden bead that would be the right size for the "cherry on top".

Instruction #1

Using an X-Acto knife, cut out a circle-shaped hole in the lid of the cupcake box lid that will fit the wooden bead later. (See photo.)

Instruction #2

Stuff some paper towels in the cut opening to prevent paint from filling the inside. (See photo.) If the bead has a hole, place it on a wooden skewer or on the handle end of a paintbrush for painting.

Instruction #3

Gather the materials. Using four cups, mix Pouring Medium with Multi-Surface Acrylic color: Pink (Neon), Blue (Neon), Green (Neon), and White Birch. (Follow the instructions on the Pouring Medium Bottle for paint mix ratios.) Use a craft stick to mix each paint/medium mix thoroughly.

Instruction #4

For a dirty pour, pour the previously-mixed colors into a clean cup, layering each on top of each other. (Do not mix.)

Instruction #5

Set the top of the cupcake box onto a protected surface. (I like to use a reusable grate so excess paint can drip down; you can also use an aluminum foil pan.) Pour the cup of layered paint onto the cupcake box lid in a circular motion. (TIP: Add more colors and pour again until you get your desired look.) Leave to dry completely.

Instruction #6

For the wooden "cherry", pour the Pink (Neon)/Pouring Medium mix onto the bead and allow to dry.

Instruction #7

For the bottom of the cupcake, paint with White Birch, using a medium oval brush.

Instruction #8

Paint a design over the White Birch with Pink (Neon), Green (Neon) and Blue (Neon), using a small flat brush. Let dry completely. Add another coat of each color. Allow to dry.

Instruction #9

Using hot glue, attach the "cherry" on top of the cupcake". For an added touch, loop a piece of string for the "stem" and glue in place. (See photo.)

Instruction #10

The possibilities are endless using the Pouring Medium and different paint pouring methods.

Instruction #11

Use this fun container to hold a gift or an everyday item.
