Supplies: wood container, acrylic paint, fine sand paper, polyurethane, foam brush, hot glue, and embellishment(optional).
Sand the container first. Wipe clean with damp rag. Apply paint with foam brush. Once dry, apply polyurethane( do this outside). Let dry about 1 hour. With fine sand paper work entire container gently. Along edges rub sand paper until it lighten to your liking. Wipe clean with damp rag again. Attach embellishment with hot glue gun. Pretty easy, but the painting is the fun part.
