Step 4

Measure the depth of the lid and, using masking tape, mask off the same size section around the bottom of the box (on all sides).

 

Paint a contrasting stripe in the colour of your choice (we've used Dark Green). Also paint the side of the lid on all four sides and leave to dry.

Step 5

To create the boarder on the lid of the box, mask off a thin line on two opposite sides of the top.

 

Paint and leave to dry before repeating on the other two sides of the lid.

Step 6

Follow the link to Design Space to create this project: Bridesmaid Proposal Box

 

We used the Cricut font 'Hey Marilyn' with a 4" height for the lid and 2" height for the reusable cup. We also used the Cricut font 'Kyden' on the inside.

Your beautiful bridesmaid memory box is now finished and ready to be filled!
