Creating a Jospeh Cornell Type of Box Sculpture

Step 1: choose a theme What is your box gong to be about or did you find something you want to base your box around?

Step 2: Choose a box

Step 3: Do not leave your box plain you can paint, collage or deocrate the outside of the box however you want. ( Unless the box goes with your theme such as candy box that may go around your candy theme)

Step 4: Create the inside of your box collage style. Think about a scrap book page in a box.
