Another project I prepared for my family members in my
visit to India is a Tin box for my nephew with Old Russian Airplanes
Illustrations, here is the final result:
The tin box is a simple plain Geometry Set, and to
decorate it I choose the Old Russian Airplanes images I posted sometime
ago. If you would like to use the same images, click here.
In the meantime I printed the images and sealed them
with a fixative in spray to prevent the ink from running and let them dry
according to the instructions.
Next step was to paint a sky background for the
airplanes, I hand painted one as much as I could because I am not really good
in drawing or painting.
Once the background was dry, I glued the images to the
surface with Mod Podge and when this glue was dry I gave it 2 coats of water-base
clear varnish. The interior of the tin box was left untouched.
I painted then the downside of the box in a dark red
color.
As a final decorative touch, I hot glued one old airplane
pin from the ex Soviet Union that I had inherited from my mom long time ago and
it was perfect for it. This box was really easy to make and I enjoyed
it very much as well as my nephew. My
next project for him will be a “Hulk” big box to keep his hot wheel's car
collection.
