Step 4

Measure the depth of the lid and, using masking tape, mask off the same size section around the bottom of the box (on all sides).

 

Paint a contrasting stripe in the colour of your choice (we've used Dark Green). Also paint the side of the lid on all four sides and leave to dry.

Step 5

To create the boarder on the lid of the box, mask off a thin line on two opposite sides of the top.

 

Paint and leave to dry before repeating on the other two sides of the lid.

Step 6

Follow the link to Design Space to create this project: Bridesmaid Proposal Box

 

We used the Cricut font 'Hey Marilyn' with a 4" height for the lid and 2" height for the reusable cup. We also used the Cricut font 'Kyden' on the inside.
