[ENG/ESP] 🌛Acompáñame a reciclar ♻️ una cajita estilo cofre y darle otro uso / Join me to recycle ♻️ a chest-style box and give it another use 🌜

#1 First I used this tablet box that they took out at my house to throw away, the design was very cool, and the cardboard was thick, and lined, also a point in its favor is that it was lined with black finishes so I only had to cover the faces, also something that the box had was that it had magnets in the flap so it could easily be a box to make a jewelry box or to adapt it to other uses. I cleaned the dirty box and waited for it to dry, to start painting, I used black cold paint and mixed a black portion with white glue, this so that the paint would adhere better to the surface of the box.

#2 The truth is I was thinking of giving it two coats of paint but due to the smooth surface the paint looked too light, so I ended up giving it 4 coats (hahaha in the end I did entertain myself while the power went out haha), now with these layers of paint the color looks much more uniform, and I took care of painting all the sides and also making sure the edge lines were painted well. Then I started to make the design I wanted adapting it to the space I had in the little box, I made some margins of 0.5 CM apart, and I made two circles of 11 CM and another inside this one of 9 CM only that the inside one I made a half circle, this to guide me in the design I was going to draw, something that I love to draw and do a lot is this design of "eclipses" with a conjugation of the sun and the moon with many arabesques and that have some designs that I have already done in my profile that I have published in previous times, I began to make the sketch of the moon, adding more designs and the face, I also made the sun trying to make the center match the sun's rays, I also made some designs in the corners, for the flap in front I also made margins on the top and bottom flap. For the design on the back with an inverted moon, and also putting 0.5 CM margins.

#3 With the white paint and a toothpick (a very fine brush in case you have one) I made the sun design with fine strokes trying to fill in all the spaces, whether with dots or arabesques, for the corners I completed the design adding more details, and I made the margins I tried to make them as straight as possible helping myself with the Ruler 📏 but it moved or stained 😳 so it turned out half messy haha. I also finished the margins on the front, and added some sun figures to the bottom margins, while some moons on the top margins. Since I saw that the moon design on the back looked very simple, I added a lot more details. Then I noticed that because there were some details left from the pencil with which I made the sketch, they were visible, with a fine brush and black paint I covered them so they would have a better finish throughout the box, and I added small dots on the lid of the box to fill in the empty spaces around the sun and the moon, so that they looked like stars. With black cardboard I covered the bottom of the box on the inside, and I glued the side of the box that was peeling off with hot silicone.

#4 Let the box dry very well, and with white school glue and a large brush I gave the whole box a coat to protect it. When it was dry I decided to give it another coat of glue to give it that shinier finish and to make it more protected.

✨🌜And here we have the result! 🌛✨It's a very nice little trunk that can work as a jewelry box, or to decorate something very nice, original, cheap and at the same time recycling something that was going to be thrown away, giving it a new life✨
