More paper mache boxes!

More paper mache boxes! Yeah, since this is a relatively easy craft to do, I have become a bit hooked. They were on sale for 30% off at Hobby Lobby. Now this makes a total of 11 boxes. These are painted with acrylic paints, with a brush. These boxes have an additive in the paint that makes it crackle. By the way, 'found out later that the same effect can be accomplished with a thin coat of liquid white glue over the dried acrylic. Note of interest: paper mache is French for chewed paper. Were you aware of that, or the glue?
