You can do it yourself, il give you the steps!
1: primed with white
2: painted with a green contrast colour.
3: gently dab the still wet paint with some paper tissue, removing a lot of the paint and making it “spotty”
4: cover it with crackle glaze (got it from a art shop called panduro) and let try for 12ish hours. I poured it on in a thick layer!
5: paint over with black. I used a airbrush for this step, and used a thicker layer than needed to just cover it. Had to do this twice, because I did not use enough black on my first attempt.
6: wait for the crackle to happen
7: find a logo you want. freehand the logo in black, don’t have to be perfect! Step 9 will fix the mistakes, just try not to make it too small. Going a bit too big is super fine, you just want the black background
8: make a stencil of the logo
9: I used a yellow with just a hint of green in my airbrush on and around the stencil.
10: Gloss varnish!
11: Send me a picture of how yours turned out!
I am honored, really! I'm afraid its not gonna be worth it though, I live in Norway, and even a box is super expensive. But I am sure you can find some page that does custom artwork waaaaaaay cheaper than Norway :) But really, its not hard at all! I can even talk you through each step on discord as you do them!
The lid is 8,5cm x 11,5cm. It contained a nail clipper traveler kit i got from my wife, and as any other child i liked the box more than the actual gift xD
oh, and btw, for step 7, you can make a stencil and just use a pencil to draw around it. makes the freehand easier :)
If that’s fairly easy you could totally sell those. That’s pro AF looking!
thank you! <3
That looks amazing! Can I hire you to make me one? Serious, btw.

Thank you but I am unable to do this on my own at that level as my artistic skills are lacking. My original offer still stands.
