Using a 3/4" flat brush, paint three sides (one long side and two ends) plus the inside of the divided box in Black Tie. Using a 3/4" flat brush, paint the other long side (front) in Black Chalkboard Paint, applying one coat horizontally and one coat vertically.
Trace the boy and girl pattern onto the edges of the front with a white pencil. (Refer to photo for placement.) Use a #8 round brush to paint the boy and the girl in Cotton Ball.
Use the handsaw to cut six craft sticks 3" long. Use sandpaper to smooth out one end and to make a point on the other end.
Use a #8 round brush to paint the "crayons", one in each of the following colors: Lipstick, Pumpkin Patch, School Bus, Leprechaun, True Blue, and Iris. Trace and transfer the crayon pattern and, using a liner brush, add details in Black Tie. Using a liner brush, add the color names in Cotton Ball. (Free-hand in "kid" style.)
Use E6000 Glue to adhere the crayons in place. (Refer to photo for placement.)
Optional: Use a 3/4" flat brush to paint four wooden balls in Cotton Ball. Use E6000 Glue to adhere in place. (Refer to photo for placement.)
