Recycled cereal box


I liked my box I made for my calendar project so much, I decided to make one to hold pre-cut watercolor paper and my notebooks I draw my zentangle patterns in.

I cut off half of the sides of the box, and then used what I cut off to reinforce the sides. Then I folded the front and back into the box, and glued it in place to reinforce the front and back of the box.

Using tacky glue, I glued paper I had painted unto the box.

I then glued circles and strips onto the paper.



I added patterns, lines and circles to give it a doodle art look. Then I added shading, shadow and highlights. I brushed gloss gel medium onto the circles to give them a shinny orb look.  I am very happy with how the box turned out.
