ProTip Box

Hi! I did a thing, I have pictures of said thing. This can sort of work as a tutorial at the same time, so have fun reading and possibly crafting!

Items I used:

A cardboard box

Acrylic paints (viridian, sap green, emerald green, ultramarine, yellow ochre, orange yellow, lemon yellow and titanium white)

Brushes for the paint

(A paint mixer if you're into using that, I like to mix with the brush directly and leave it a bit uneven, it's just a preference to me, mix with whatever you are allowed with and want to mix with, or use pure colors without mixing)

A palette(or something to put your paint on from the tube/bottle)

Scissors

Copy paper

A pencil(/prefered protip writing pen)

Music for a more fun time

How did I do?

I started by cutting a hole with the scissors into the lid of my box. I eyeballed it, but it ended up about 1,5 cm* 3,5 cm in size.

Then I proceeded to remove tapes and notes for there to be an unslidy surface for the paint to go on all the way through. I proceeded to paint the top all done, take a break for it to dry, paint a side, wait, paint another side, wait... until it was all painted! Then I went around covering up unwanted smears and unnoticed spots and let it dry as I washed my brushes and palette. (Those pictures later in the blog)

I wrote some protips on copy paper, teared their edges for an artistic choice and rolled them up before I put them into the all done ProTip Box. I'd like to thank MatPat The Troll for( most likely unintentionally) giving me an idea for a protip.

And then the whole thing was done! It took me about 5 days, because I had school and homework and stuff with friends, but it's done now, and that's all that matters about this very specific subject of this blog. Hope you enjoyed it! You can use similar ways to make yourself a cardboard box piggy bank or candy stash, get creative with solutions I've tried to figure out for you while making this myself! Have a good time! Bye!
