It's easy as 1-2-3 to give plain craft boxes a little pizzazz with Rust-Oleum's Specialty Glitter spray paint. Cut openings and mount them together for a unique, DIY wedding card box. 

  1. Cut a large hole in the largest box and a small slit opening in the medium size box for the cards. 
  2. Over a drop cloth, spray Specialty Glitter in Silver on the box tops and bottoms, covering every surface. Hold your can of glitter spray 10-12" from the boxes and begin spraying the surface in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke.
  3. Apply 3 or more light coats at a moderate speed. For best results, apply multiple light coats instead of one heavy coat. Let each coat dry for a few minutes before adding the next.
  4. Let the glitter dry for about 20 minutes, then top coat with Glitter Clear Sealer. For best results, apply 2 or more coats.
  5. Let the paint and sealer dry for approximately 1 hour.
  6. Assemble the boxes, stacking one on top of the other. Secure with glue and ribbon.
