Make a Treasure Chest and Gold Coins DIY

Описание: DIY Treasure Chest and Gold Coins

Learn how you can make an easy and fun DIY treasure chest and gold coins from just a box and some craft supplies!

I had been meaning to make this treasure chest for over a year, and I finally finished it. With this video I want to show you how you can go about doing it yourself! Most of the craft supplies came from the Dollar Tree, some from Walmart, and others.

The supplies Needed:
Large craft sticks,
Small craft sticks,
Round dowels
Acrylic paints (Dollar Tree and white from Walmart)
Metallic acrylic paints (Michaels)
Tacky glue
Xacto knife and/or animal nail trimmers
Paint brushes
Painting pallet
Dollar Tree St. Patrick's Day coins
Dollar Tree Checkers set

One of the hardest challenges was making the chest's wood look authentic and aged. I kept adding multiple layers of paint to mimic natural & aged woodgrain colors until I was satisfied with the result. I used the same technique on the gold coins and kept adding different colors of metallics to create the best aged/authentic look.

ASMR, aka autonomous sensory meridian response, causes relaxation and sedation from certain sounds and visual stimuli.

Hope you enjoy it! :)
