1)Don’t forget to pack gift in box and than tape box up.
2)Cut bubble wrap to your box size. (Diagram A) sides A & B

3)Wrap box with bubble wrap

4)Bubble side out & use invisible tape. Tape bubble wrap to box (Diagram A) cut the two ends to fit sides C & D using double stick tape on the edges of box & mount bubble wrap. Than trim edge if needed. When trimmed go to step five

5)Spray bubble wrap with light coats paint until looks covered. Let paint dry before each coat. The bubble part might be a bit transparent, that’s Ok. Than spray with fixative so gold paint does not flake off. Do this outside & should not try & paint all sides at once. Let dry & turn box over to do other sides until all is painted.

6)Take the markers and put the colors on the bubbles. You might have to do a second coat on some of the bubbles or just leave the bubble wrap gold.

7)Put a bow or ribbon on package or just leave as is it looks like a box covered in jewels.

Jan & I hope you a happy holiday season & those that get this box are pleased with what you have created for them.
