Decorating a Wooden Tea Box

Introduction

Hello, friends and tea lovers! Today we will transform an ordinary wooden box into a designer tea box. Stay until the end of this video to find out what materials you’ll need and how to make it.

Materials Needed

Before you begin, it’s essential to gather all the necessary materials:

• Wooden box with 9 compartments
• Acrylic paints - blue and gold (or colors of your choice)
• Flat brush set - small and large
• Palette
• Water cup
• Paper towels or rags

Steps

Step 1: Preparing the Materials

• Place all necessary materials on a convenient work surface.
• Prepare the paints: pour some of the acrylic paint onto the palette, add water if needed, and mix until you achieve a consistency that is easy to apply.
• Pour a little water into the cup for cleaning the brushes.

Step 2: Painting the Interior of the Box

• With the help of a flat brush, start painting the interior of the box. Apply an even layer of paint and let it dry. If needed, apply a second layer.
• Wait for the interior to dry completely.

Step 3: Adding Gold Paint

• Once the interior is fully dry, paint the exterior of the box with gold. Optionally, you can first apply a layer of yellow paint and a second layer of gold for more density.
• Thoroughly wash the brush and dry it with a paper towel before switching colors.
• Using a smaller brush, add gold details along the edges and around the lid’s window. Apply the paint with careful strokes for a precise and elegant finish.
• Allow the box to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 4: Additional Decoration Ideas

• Using a stencil: You can use a stencil to add interesting shapes or motifs. Place the stencil on a part of the box and apply paint with a sponge or small brush.
• Mosaic: Decorate part of the box with small pieces of colorful glass or ceramics for a unique and intricate design.
• Decorative stickers and stones: Attach small stones, pearl half-spheres, or other decorative elements to add sparkle and texture to the box.
• Decoupage: Use the decoupage technique to add images or motifs from napkins or decoupage paper onto the box. Cover with decoupage varnish for durability.
