Supplies:

• Wooden Box (Hobby Lobby)
• Anita’s All Purpose Acrylic Craft Paints in Morning Blue, Island Blue, Antique Gold, Vivid Pink, White, and Aegean Blue

My latest craft project, a quill box, was inspired by the Lilly Pulitzer Alpha Xi Delta Sorority print. I started by painting the entire wooden box Morning Blue, then free-hand tracing the print on to it. After tracing, I painted the blue flowers in the Island Blue and the pink flowers in Vivid Pink. I traced the petals in Aegean Blue. For the Greek letters, I painted the background white then used the Aegean Blue to make the actual letters. For the quills, I painted the background white and used Antique Gold for the outlining. The shield was a combination of the above colors.

For the inside of the box (which I don’t have pictures of), I painted the rims the Morning Blue, while the sides and top/bottom were painted Island Blue.
