Directions:
Supplies needed:
- Acrylic paint
- Shaving cream
- Knife or stick
- White Gift Boxes
- Squigee
- Large container or box
To make these custom marble gift boxes, it doesn't take much time and they dry fairly quickly, but I would allow 24 hours before packaging them up to give away just to be sure everything has cured.
- Just spray shaving cream in the bottom of a large container or box.
- Drizzle a variety of acrylic paint colors over the shaving cream.
- Cut in the paint to the shaving cream to create swirls (don't overs to this or the colors will become muddled).
- Dip your box or paper on the top layer of painted shaving cream.
- Using a squigee, scrape off the shaving cream. Don't worry, the paint will stay on.
- Allow to dry for 24 hours before handling
I did mine in the bathroom so that I could easily wash off my squigee from excess shaving cream.
My Thoughts
I was excited to try out this pack of 10 gift boxes from MyPresentforyou because I knew it was going to be fun to decorate up a blank canvas. The boxes are all white and come in a set of 10 of them. The size of mine are 9x4.5x4.5 which is a decent size for a lot of things including some of my handmade pottery items and bakery goods.
The boxes do come with little bows that you can use. There are no instructions on how to use the bows, but you just pull the little bow strands in the center between the bigger ribbon strands and pull until you have made the bow and then tie it so that it stays in place. I used the bow on my first time using one of these gift boxes because I had done the marble technique and didn't want to take away from having the recipient see that. But other times I think I will leave the box a plain white and really do up the bows and ribbons with other ones I use. The possibilities are endless on how to decorate up these boxes whether you are changing up the ribbon or decorating the box. I even thinking that the next present my kids have to give someone I will let them color on the box and put stickers to make it more fun for them.
