I started by removing the drawer and then cleaning the whole wine box with a TSP substitute.

Paint the Box White

I painted the box with two coats of pure white chalk mineral paint. The box does have some uneven spaces where you will be needing to use the tips of your paintbrush to have full coverage.

And then I dried it using a little heat using a heat gun. This made the whole drying process quick but be sure not to overdo it to avoid discoloration and bubbling.

Paint the Inside and Dividers

I also painted the inside and the dividers with green chalk mineral paint.

Applying the Floral Transfer

These are the transfer I used. I cut them into sizes and then rub them onto the box.
