Ask a grown-up to help you with sharp tools if you need to.
Pheobe's "designer" lunchbox.
Collect all equipment first.
You will need
A pair of scissors Masking tape Card Enamel paint (at least two colours) Plain plastic lunchbox Paintbrushes (and some pain brush cleaner)
N.B. Wear some protective clothing
Step 1
Draw a small bold design onto the card. We have chosen a fish.
A simple design works best.
You may need an adult to help.
Step 2
Cut out the centre of the design creating a stencil. Leave enough of a border around the stencil so that it can be taped into position on your lunchbox. Repeat this process at least four times.
Step 3
Tape all four of the stencils in position on your lunchbox in whatever pattern you chose. We have put two fish along the top and two along the bottom leaving the middle free.
We like the fishy option!
Don't forget to wear an apron.
Step 4 Now you can paint the stencils. Take a brush an choose a colour. Dab paint through the stencils onto the lunchbox until evenly covered. Leave to dry then carefully lift the stencil off.
Step 5
Take another colour and using a small brush, paint your name along the centre of the box or wherever you like.Make sure you space the letters out. Add some wave shapes and paint in some eyes onto the fish.
You never know, your design may even inspire Mum or Dad to be a little more creative with your lunchtime sandwiches!
