For this box, my grandpa had an old wooden box he had painted blue (his favorite color) years ago.  He wasn't using it...I got creative... and tada!!!

Items used:

• wooden box
• white paint
• red paint
• stencils
• paint brushes
• sponges

1. start by wiping it clean with a damp cloth
2. paint the box with its base color.  depending on how dark you want it 1 coat should be good.  let dry for 24 hours
3. the start on the top, using stensils trace the star (thats what I used)  and then paint them on once you like the look. 
4. begin painting the front side, by laying the stencils down.  I sponge painted them.
5. turn the box on its side and do one side the same way you did the front.
6. let the top, front, and side dry for 24 hours
7. once you are sure the stenciled side is dry go ahead and do the other side.. let dry for 24 hours

I hope this box can keep you inspired... or whatever you want it to keep you doing :)
