Create your own spring box ideal for chocolate eggs !

The first rays of the spring sun are breaking through the clouds and Easter is just around the corner.

What better on these blossom-filled days than to give free rein to your creative streak?

Young and old alike can follow the step-by-step tutorial that our ambassador, Ambre, has created specially for you. So pick up your colour pencils, fibre-tipped pens and gouaches and create your very own box of chocolates or biscuits!

What do I need to get started?

  • • Studio Gouache in tabet form or Fibralo fibre-tipped pens
  • • A  paint brush
  • • Scissors or a cutter
  • • Card stock or thick paper in A3 fomat 
  • • Glue 
  • • Tissue paper


Off you go!

Follow the steps
STEP 1: PRINT OUT THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS

Download and print the template in A3 format and the 2 sheets of stencils in A4 format
  • Sheet of stencils n°1
  • Sheet of stencils N°2
  • Template
  • STEP 2: CUT THE TEMPLATE AND STENCILS OUT

    Reproduce the “box template” on thick paper or flexible card in A3 format.
    Cut it out taking care to cut the corners of the rectangles.
    Cut the stencils out and remove the inside of the shapes using a cutter.
    STEP 3: DECORATE THE TEMPLATE
     
    Using the stencils, decorate the box using studio gouache or Fibralo fibre-tipped pens. Then add details using Supracolor Soft.
    STEP 4: FOLD AND STICK THE BOX

    Fold then stick the box tabs.





    Now all you have to do is place some tissue paper inside the box and add some chocolate eggs, biscuits or whatever takes your fancy!
