EGG BOX

Send

Every housewife wants the kitchen to be both comfortable and beautiful. Therefore, for this it is worth decorating an egg box with your own hands. For work, you will need materials that can easily be found in departments at the office and construction stores.
Prepare:
-wooden or plywood box;
- stain on a water or alcohol basis;
three-layer napkins;
-acrylic primer;
-acrylic paints;
Office file
-acrylic lacquer;
- household sponge;
-PVA glue"
-different brushes made of artificial bristles;
- small sandpaper.

Prepare the box. It is necessary to remove all burrs and small flaws, for this, use sandpaper. Loosen the inside walls of the box with a stain. Leave on for 15 minutes to dry.

Coat the outside of the box with an acrylic primer for wood. Use a medium-wide brush. Wait 20 minutes and walk on top of it with white acrylic paint. It is better to apply the paint with a piece of the household sponge, while not smearing it, but pressing the sponge, moving with small strips in one direction, as if “pricking” the paint. Let dry for 20 minutes.

Cut a small piece of fine sandpaper and in a circular motion rub the entire outer surface of the box. It is necessary to achieve smoothness to the touch. This is very important for further work with a napkin.

Take a napkin, separate the two white layers, we do not need them. And attach the color to the side of the box and gently press it to the corners to get an imprint of the borders of the side.

Retreating a few millimeters from the intended lines, cut the part necessary for gluing.

Take a regular office file. On it, face down, place the cut part and wet the cloth abundantly with a spray bottle, it should float in water.
Spread the napkin lightly with your fingers, because it took folds from getting wet. Do not be afraid, if you do not make sudden movements, then a napkin in a pool of water easily glides over the file! Lift the file, excess water will drain, and the napkin will remain adhered to it.

Slowly place a napkin with a file on the wall of the box - a napkin to the box. Using a brush or a cloth flap, swipe the napkin through the file, expelling excess water and air. When you see that the napkin lay evenly on the wall of the box, hook the file around the corner and remove it from the napkin.

On the brush, type “PVA” glue, type without sparing, and smear the cloth with gentle movements. One side is glued.

Glue all the other three sides in the same way.

Within an hour, let the box glued on all sides dry.
With a fine emery cloth, erase the protruding parts of the napkin.

Proceed to the outside of the bottom. While you have it white, you need to paint it to match the sides. To do this, mix the paints, until you get the desired shade and paint the bottom with a dry brush. Let the paint dry.

The soiled, pasted and painted box needs to be varnished. Cover in several layers. Before applying a new coat of varnish, make sure that the previous one dries.
