Instruction Image #1

Drill a hole in the center of each box lid. Use screws to attach cabinet knobs to each lid.

Instruction Image #2

Use painter's tape to mask off geometric shapes on the boxes and lids. Paint each side with the colors of your choice.

Instruction Image #3

I think it works best to apply the tape randomly and to decorate each side with different colors and patterns.

Depending on the color and coverage you want, you will need two to three coats of paint for each color block.

For best results, remove the painter's tape before the paint has dried completely.
