DIY Mixed Media Decorative Wooden Box with Tangerine Groves Project Kit! | Creativity Unlocked!

Hi there! This is Bibi Cameron and today, I dived into the mixed media universe to create a decorative wooden box using Altenew's new Craft Your Life Project Kit: Tangerine Grove, along with other supplies. 

Yes! You can use paper crafting products to stamp and add color to other surfaces like wood, fabric, glass, and metal. I love that I can do that!

Welcome to Creativity Unlocked, where we highlight a new product from each month's collection or a fan favorite from past collections!

This was a fun adventure and also an invitation to create another type of handmade goodies that can be a delightful, unique, and original gift for family and friends. Plus, you can create matching projects such as note cards, tags, notebook covers, or anything else.

How to Create This DIY Decorative Wooden Box

Here's what you'll need:

  • The Wooden Box I used measures 30 x 20 x13 cm, but feel free to use whatever you have.
  • Any acrylic paint to cover the surface you will be stenciling on.
  • Acrylic and Gesso Brushes
  • Altenew Odisian Black Ink ( oil-based, intense, worked fine with the Altenew Acrylic Markers)
  • Tangerine Grove stamp and stencil
  • Altenew Acrylic Markers
  • Altenew Fresh Dye Inks used to add color to the wooden box: Espresso, Cosmic Berry, and Sapphire.
  • Fixative for watercolors – pastels
  • Gesso
  • One of the stencils from the Sulfur Cosmos set
  • Texture Paste
  • Distress Oxide Sprays: Speckle Egg and Walnut Stain
  • Altenew Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink
  • Rub-on stickers
  • Mixed media stamps and ribbons

And you can use Altenew Fresh Dye Inks to stamp on wooden surfaces!

Here, I applied Altenew Fresh Dye Inks over Acrylic Paints to intensify, change, or correct the color.

That is all for today! I hope you like this idea.
