Step 13Begin Decorating the Box
For this step you will need your covered box, pencil, ruler and stripe guide from the template.
NOTE: If you aren't trying to make an exact replica of the box, there is no need to do this step. I made a box where I used a pretty paper instead. The striping is for those of us who want our Other Mother box to look as official as possible.
Using the template and pencil, mark out the widths of your stripes (Photo 1). I add a little "x" to where I know I want it to be solid black. Then use your straight edge to mark out the lines using the marks as a guide (Photo 2). Continue the stripes all around the edge of the box including to the inside of the lid (Photos 3-5).
