Making the Props

Once I had picked up the frame for the box we decided it needed decorating to look more realistic as an old, rustic seaside amusement. We picked up a pot of dark brown paint and I put the box together. I then used an old car sponge to paint the box. The use of the sponge instead of a brush made the box look old and worn which was the look we wanted to acheive. Once the brown paint had dried I used gold acryllic paint around the edge of the window and the slot for the tickets to come out of. This made the box look more like an antique and old- fashioned.
