Hobby Lobby Knock-Off Box

Normally, I just buy the cute things I find at Hobby Lobby when they hit the clearance aisle. But I was there the other day and passed by this

 

and it wasn't on sale and I wanted something like it now!

 

 

 

Yeah, I know, my letters aren't fat enough. But the person I'm giving it to, doesn't know that and it will work.

 

 

 

I had the little box at home, so I painted it white first and then black.

 

 

 

I cut the stencils out of contact paper with my Cameo, stuck them on, and painted away.

 

Okay, now I need your help with something. When you do the mod-podge trick with stenciling, where do you put the mod-podge? Around the edges of the stencil? It's supposed to keep the paint from seeping, but I'm still not sure where to apply it. Anybody know?

 

 

 

After it was all dried, I removed the stencils and sanded the whole thing a little.
