Mixed media altered box

Hi friends,

Hope all going well! 

I have created a mixed media altered wooden box and want to share with you complete process how I did this.. So here I am:

Here’s the steps to follow and make this altered box for personal or gifting purpose:

Materials Required:

#Gesso

#Texture paste

#Chalk Paints

#Pearl metallic Gold colour

#Distress Spray

#Colour Splash spray

#Glue Gun

#Stencil

#Wooden embellishments

#Flowers

#Sentiments

Let’s begin now when we have everything on place!

Step.1: To begin with coat the box completely with gesso. Gesso plays the main role in the mixed media technique as it works as the primer. After doing gesso coat, let it dry and in case you want to dry it quicker, heat tool becomes the best option.



Step.2: After gesso coat is dried, start adding texture with the use of stencil and texture paste. Again, wait for it to dry completely.



Step.3: Let’s begin with the colour part… for this you may use the sailing sky chalk paint. Coat the box with dry brush over the texture part and complete colour at the other part of the box. Inside the box, you may leave it as it is or you can prefer to colour the same.



Step.4: Assemble all the decorative to be added on the top of the box. Then, stick all of them in the way you prefer with the help of glue gun as its totally up to you to unleash your creativity and bring out the best. Glue gun is best option for sticking things instantly.



Step.5: Apply another coat of gesso on the complete arrangement and let it dry completely. Now comes the most interesting part and that is spraying the entire arrangement with the colour splash and distress spray. Apply as shown in images and let it dry.



Step.6: For the final touch-up, dry brush here and there with pearl metallic gold colour!!



See!! What comes in front of you after completion of all the steps!! Hope you all liked the tutorial and will sure love to try making this art…
