DIY Ball Pull Boxes
<p>Good afternoon!</p>
<p> So many times in my life I have to deal with gift packaging problems especially when the present is small and it too hard to find a box that would be cute and for a decent price. No I am not cheap on presents but buying a cardboard that is usually not pretty at all is a waste. I found this cute DIY for a wooden boxes which will be great for a gift box as well as for your own jewelry boxes or as a storage for other small things. And those look much better than the boxes from the store.</p><figure><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/cre8KkGYKzSXCbolsRZWl76TvLo=/f35edb2a87a6428b8d1708349e40bad2"></figure><p> </p>
<p> Here is what you will need:<br>- Small Wooden Boxes<br>- 40mm Wooden Beads<br>- <a href="https://sugru.com/buy/create-and-craft-kit?utm_source=Affiliate&utm_medium=LinkShare&utm_campaign=oAnJidELEI&utm_content=3&utm_term=UKNetwork&siteID=oAnJidEL.EI-e9fQzVZes7RgrFZHHffvdw">Sugru Create and Craft Kit</a><br>- Spray Paint<br>- Sandpaper</p><figure><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/cFhZP7cFjYhZB7QjDEnT81BX78A=/72d40ab9be5a4ef092dd0bf0182e3cf4"></figure>
<p> Step 1<br>Prepare your workspace and set up some good music or your favorite movie.</p>
<p> Step 2<br>Sand down the corners on the lid of your box. This gives them a more cohesive look with the sphere balancing on top.</p><figure><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/XMGfx_b3kvvBrAkOhRGf3oIDbAs=/4c4ddd0e6f3a4473a4b0cae1a01ced0f"></figure>

Smooth it over with your finger.</p><figure><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/vOgP2NmggSzOO0hXO-ZBEbK7_dw=/9318dd072f3d4e4cbc2cfe74c3501f23"></figure>

Leave this overnight to set in place.</p><figure><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/DxUZ2kruF5COUQwYnsjM8Z1RXkI=/6126b60475214d65b4783102d883ff41"></figure>

Use a fine sandpaper to keep the paint even between coats.</p><figure><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/9Wa7_765cDJGtCOqHs7vKOm-n6M=/0c87d07a0bac436984ea6c26ffb4d2b8"></figure>

Once dry, spray a pool of paint onto a scrap piece of paper (keeping the surrounding area protected) and use a toothpick to paint onto the exposed area.</p><figure><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/tXwpMy2UpyXMQvKBbXh4vYnmv9M=/b75a8c65357945518dab57f7cb98fbfc"></figure>
<p> Voila! Aren’t they cute? I was very inspired by this tutorial. It is very easy to do and the result is amazing. I made a few of them and I got one for my mother and my grandmother, one for my sister and one for myself. And we all are enjoying those boxes so much! Thanks!</p><figure><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/7-O8LF4ypEdVw8AwaHQJLWSZyFg=/77311c88e5df4996a4adb2ee0f6af9b3"></figure>
