ake some regular tape and place it along each side of the lid. Paint the inside of each lid with the color of your choice. Since the lid is white, you won’t need primer – however, if you choose a different colored box, make sure to purchase primer, so that the color will be accurate. You will need to allow each layer to dry, before coating again. Each lid takes about 3 coats. Once it’s dry, carefully remove your painters tape (if you go too quickly, you may rip or damage the box). Cut out a decorative “Will you…” card, spray with adhesive, and place it on the center of the lid. Be really careful here, because it’s very sticky, and you will likely not be able to re-position the sticker. Each bridesmaid box included:

o

The Question (a unique poem from the bride)

o

The Girls (The names , phone numbers, and emails of each girl)

o

The Dress (with a link to the Pinterest Page of approved dresses, as well as paint chip “swatches”)
