How to make a Faux Stone Geometric Box:

• The Geometric Box Die goes together really easily and is also expandable.
• Die-cut the box* using mat board* and a Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine*. 
• You will need to cut two pieces of the middle section of the box.  
• Carefully fold the box on the score lines.
• Assemble the box with the tabs on each side of the box. I like to use Rapid Fuse Adhesive* to glue the box. It dries and holds in 30 seconds.

• Using a palette knife*, apply a thick coat Deco Arts Dimensional Effects Texture Paste* onto the sides of the box.  Smooth over lightly leaving a rough texture.
• Make sure to fill in the creased edges to make a seamless appearance.
• Allow the paste to full dry.

• Use dark gray acrylic paint to paint the entire box. (inside and out)
• Use a dry brush with a small amount of paint to apply lighter coats of paint over the outside of the box. I painted from dark to light. I used a combination of the dry brush technique with stippling to get my desired look.

• For my Holiday Embellishment, I used a 1″ gold pendant blank for jewelry making and a 1″ plaid scrapbook paper circle glued in the center.
• Tie the gold pendant around the top of the box using a piece of braided twine.

Add a small faux Christmas Tree for a sophisticated Holiday Decoration.
