Projects: Little Lunchbox

Ben’s sturdy lunchbox got a little makeover this week. 


We started with avocado green (which was looking pretty tired):


I sprayed the top and ends dark blue and then stuck some stickers on the front like so:


Then ends (already painted dark blue) got the fancy tape treatment (as did the handle):


Then the whole thing go sprayed with four coats of baby blue (over the top of the stickers):

Peeling off the stickers took all of two minutes and we were left with the nice dark blue letters. Here is the finished product:


It probably needs a final clear coat to prevent the letters from getting too beat up. It’s rough being a toddler’s lunch box. 


We also did the sticker treatment on the back with our phone number as both Ben and I have a tendency to misplace our possessions.
