DIY Painted Boxes – School Supplies, Planters & More

Pin to Pinterest

We have had fun crafting! This little craft inspired our homework center this year (take a look at more Homework Center Ideas.) Find some wooden boxes (we got our set of 3 at Target for $7) and have fun with craft paint to make this abstract look.

Supplies:

Wooden Boxes (we got ours at Target)
Painters Tape
Foam Paint Brush
Martha Stewart High Gloss Acrylic Craft Paint – We used Blue, Pink, and Aqua
Paper Plate or Paint Palette

Directions:

Lay a piece of old newspaper down before you start working.
Place a piece of painters tape at an angle from the bottom left corner to the top center of your large block and another piece at an angle from the bottom right corner to the top center.
Press your tape smooth and paint the triangle you created with two coats of pink paint.
Now place a piece of painters tape at an angle from the bottom right corner to the left corner of your medium sized box and press the tape down smooth.
Paint your second triangle on your medium sized box with two coats of your teal paint and let dry.
Now place a piece of painters tape at an angel from the bottom left corner to the top right corner of your small box and press smooth.
Paint your smallest triangle with two coats of your blue paint and let dry.
Repeat to all sides of each box (optional).
Peel the painters tape off all sides and fill with your desk supplies.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys.

25+ Christmas Traditions to Start Right Now

Pin to Pinterest

Recently we moved from Florida (my home state of 30+ years) to the Washington, DC area. This put us away from extended family in in a while new world of focusing on our core family. My girls are in the early stages of elementary school and are beginning to understand the real meaning of Christmas. Santa, and additionally the Elf on the Shelf, have gone out the window (yes, he no longer comes down the chimney) and my focus is now on finding activities during the Christmas season that reflect not only family, but reason for the season – The Birth of Christ. One of the ways we have gotten back to the basics is through our family Advent Calendar.

Family Traditions

Before you get started, make sure to take a look at these year around Family Traditions To Start Now! Pin to Pinterest.
