​This week, our art staff pick is:  WOODEN BOXES TO DECORATE!  ​Small pencil box: $2.99. Medium Rectangle: $9.99. Large square: $7.69

What can you do with it, and how does it stand out?

These unfinished wood boxes can be painted with acrylics, decorated with decoupage, or embellished however you like! They close with a latch and metal hinge, and are great for storing art supplies or special possessions. They would make a fun project and a unique gift that can really be customized!

​​​Any tips or techniques for using it? Likes/ dislikes?

​I like using acrylic paints to add floral patterns on my wooden boxes! I recommend painting the box with a primer like gesso first, then drawing out your design on the box. When I'm finished painting, I like to seal the outside with a few coats of spray varnish. Some cool ideas for decorating might be to use stencils, try paint pens for adding lettering, or use wood burning tools to draw your design! I like that the dimensions of these boxes fit my prismacolor colored pencils perfectly. :)

​Do we stock it regularly, or is it a special find?

This is a closeout deal, so get them while we have them.  Small pencil box: $2.99. Medium Rectangle: $9.99. Large square: $7.69
