Stenciled Wine Box

Go green this season with upcycled crafts. Make a Stenciled Wine Box from Tiffany Windsor using acrylic paint and stamps and more. Save a wine box and turn it into a cool and crafty package. Bring one along to your next party for a fun hostess gift.

Materials:

Wine box
Acrylic paint – color of your choice
Aleene’s Snow (texture medium)
Palette knife
Stencil (The Crafter’s Workshop)
Rub ‘n Buff – gold
Wax paper
Wet wipe(s)
Glitter tape
Alphabet rubber stamps
Staz-On Black Ink

Instructions:

You can use any solid surface for this stencil project. I found this wine box at the local thrift store.
For this stencil how-to, I cut apart a tissue box so that I could show how you can stencil on any design. You don’t need a plain surface for this project because you will be painting over the entire surface.
Lay stencil in place over surface. Pick up texture paste with back of palette knife.
Smooth texture paste over stencil with palette knife. Add more texture paste as needed. Note on this example that you can barely see the stencil design because I have applied the texture paste in a generous coat.
Lift stencil to reveal stenciled design. Let texture paste dry completely.
Be sure to clean all the excess paste from stencil and return excess to container. Use wet wipe or water and paper towel to wipe all paste from stencil.
When texture paste is completely dry, brush acrylic paint over entire surface. Let dry.
Dab Rub ‘n Buff onto wax paper. Use finger to lighty apply over stenciled design.
I wanted to add a more decorative touch to the top of my box so I used self adhesive glitter tape. I dry brushed over the tape with my acrylic paint to dull the surface.
For the last step, I stamped the wording “AROUND THE WORLD” on the side of my box.
