EEtwidget Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Last minute gifts coming together. Shoe shine box for father-in-law. His golden retriever passed away and he... For some reason believes the dog came back as a crow. Maybe a little craze but he just got over Cancer so he gets a pass.I used photo transfer to 'paint' logos and the dog on the box.Test fitPaint with mat baseThe photo tooPlace and flatten Let dry for 8 hours then wet paper and rub off paperLeaves photo behind Next thing to do, apply finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEtwidget Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Making progress on homemade gifts. I decided to try and make the shoe shine box look old. Spray paint-sand-sealHonestly not the greatest look but it's too late to turn back nowNext seal with some of that gay sounding mod poge stuffCoated the boxAnd my wife's present. I couldn't decide on a photo so one side is her and her mother from our weeding and the other side is a collection of photos from our adventures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Nice work EE. I especially like the duct tape box. I'm assuming your wife and yourself have pretty good senses of humor.

ChrisK Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Hahaha she will find out pretty soon. Sounds like you need a straight edge to open boxes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
