1.How to make stripes. 2.Measure the circumference of your box and mark an even number of stripes (you decide on their width). 3.For best results, scratch your stripes with a needle and use our plastic seam gauge. 4.You can mix all kinds of colours from only five basis colours. 5.Then use our acrylic paint to make decorative stripes. Use a foam brush. Leave to dry and add a second layer for full coverage. 6.If you find the paint is too matte when dry, you can give the box a coat of adhesive lacquer with a foam brush. A layer of lacquer makes your box more resistant to knocks and bumps.
