  2. Using painters tape, secure the stencil on top of the wood box.
  3. Pour brown acrylic paint into a disposable plastic container.
  4. Carefully dab your brush in the paint and blot it a couple times, you don’t want it overloaded with paint.

    Would it be okay if I use spray paint, or is it better to hand paint them?
