Supplies
Step 1
Paint your box and tags white. I'm using my Palm Pro Zibra brush which is designed to fit in your hand perfectly!
Step 2
Dab off any extra water before applying to the tag.
Allow most of the paint to sit at the bottom and just add water, as you move the tag up to create an ombré effect.
Step 2
Cut paper to the inner dimensions of your box.
Use Modge Podge to secure in place - foam brushes work great here!
Step 3
Place stickers
Jan/Feb, Mar/Apr, May/Jun, Jul/Aug, Sep/Oct, Nov/Dec
0/1, 2/3, 0/1, 2/3, 4/5, 6/7, 8/9
Step 4
Use a pen to mark the spot you will place your nails.
Make sure not to nail through the other side of the box.
