Step 2
Apply primer. Allow it to dry.
Step 3
The most interesting begins. Select the colour and paint your box.
Step 4
Decorate the box with anything you like, select a pattern.
Step 5
Apply craquelure varnish, leave aside to dry for 3-4 hours, then apply the second lacquer.
Step 6
You can also apply some bronze paste to emphasize the effect. Apply it little by little and quickly remove with a cloth.

If the corners are too shabby, you can hide them under metal findings: glue them and then press with woodworking clamps.

Paint the inner surface of the walls with the bronze paste.
Step 9
Cover all with acrylic lacquer.
And your box is as good as new! :)
