the other side. Okay. Once you've got both holes punch, you can spray paint your box. Now, when I spray paint my box, I usually do 3 to 4 light coats of paint, letting it dry at least 5 minutes in between each coat, and I mentioned at the beginning of the class that I like to use brown spray paint . Now, you can use whatever color and whatever type of paint that you like. I like using spray paint because it goes on even and it dries quickly. I just really like that time saver.

But let me show you how I spray paint this. Just kinda going through the motions. Keep the nozzle of the spray paint about 10 inches away from the box, go in sweeping motions, left to right, trying to get the pain into the different corners of the shadowbox. Once you've done the front, then you can go ahead and go around and do the sides. Now, I don't typically paint the back of the box but if you are going to display your box on a table where it'll be seen on all sides, go ahead and spray paint the back first, three or four coats of paint,

pick that up on the next coat of paint. Also, whenever I spray paint , I always go outdoors. There are fumes from the paint so it's always good to play it safe and spray paint outside. Since I'm indoors, let me show you what the box looks like after it has been painted.
