Dot Mandala on a Recycled Tobacco Box | Step-by-Step Tutorial

Artwork #989 In this tutorial, I'll show you how I created this colourful design on a recycled tobacco box. This design actually started as a mandala I created on a recycled CD. I liked the design so much that I decided to turn it into a tutorial and recreate it on the wooden box. One of the things that makes this tutorial a little different is that I made my own design shapes. I created them in different sizes on the computer, printed them onto cardstock, and cut them out to make my own reusable templates. I'll also show you how I transfer the design onto the painted surface using a water-erasable pencil. As always with NobleArts, the goal isn't perfection. It's about experimenting, creating with what you have, and finding ways to turn recycled and everyday materials into something beautiful. 🛠️ Materials Used Recycled tobacco box FolkArt Multi-Surface Acrylic Paint Black (base coat) Mont Marte Brilliant Red Mont Marte Brilliant Red mixed with DecoArt Crafters Acrylic Pure Pumpkin DecoArt Crafters Acrylic Sun Yellow DecoArt Americana Sour Apple FolkArt Artist's Metallic Antique Gold The Happy Dotting Company 16 Section Silicone Template Homemade cardstock design shapes Yoke Water-erasable pencil Microfiber cloth DIY Mandala Stone Dotting Tools Basic Amazon Dotting Stylus 🎵 Music from Pixabay. 🎨 Keep calm and Noble On! ▶️ Watch more in Dot Art | The Complete Collection Dot Art | The Complete Collection 💖 Want to Support My Work?
