Easy Steps to a Stellar Pencil Box 🛠️

Creating your Decoden box is a quick, imaginative process, though the drying time requires patience.

Creating Your Glow-in-the-Dark Design

Dream Up Your Creation: Imagine your pencil box as a galactic adventure. Choose your cream glue color and envision your pattern—swirls, dots, or a cosmic landscape.
Pipe the Starlight: Squeeze the whipped cream glue onto the top of your pencil box, creating your chosen cosmic pattern. Don’t be afraid to be creative!
Add Your Galactic Glow: While the glue is still wet, carefully place your glow-in-the-dark stars and other celestial embellishments onto the base. Arrange them to form constellations or a random cosmic design.
Patience is a Virtue: Let your pencil box dry completely. This is the longest part, as the thick glue layer needs time to cure (often 24-48 hours).
