Candy Cane Box

Here’s a sweet project that’s fun for all ages! The oversized candy cane doubles as a box to hold, well, candy canes, trinkets and whatever your heart desires. 

1. Wipe box and lid with damp sponge to remove bisque dust.
2. Trace pattern on tracing paper to transfer pattern to candy cane box.
3. Align tracing on top of bisque lid. Make marks on top and bottom of each line.  Remove tracing.
4. Place strip of tape from top to bottom of each line to create stripes.
5. Using brush of choice as needed, paint three coats Really Red in each stripe. Let dry. Remove tape.
6. Place lid on bottom box and align stripes. Make small mark with pencil for tape placement. Add tape.
7. Brush three coats Really Red to inside stripes. Let dry.
8. Place box and lid on kiln shelf and fire to cone 06.
9. Brush two coats Pure Brilliance to white bisque areas and a thin coat on the Really Red stripes. Let dry.
