2 planks must be 8"x9"
2 planks must be 7"x8"
1 plank must be 8"x8"
Assemble the box with 2 same sized planks on both sides and the same sized on the other side
Place the smallest size plank on the inside of the bottom of the box
Drill holes on each side of the angle so the whole box is connected and secure
Hammer nails after you drilled holes

Paint the box orange on all sides
Mix some brown and orange paint
You can use masking tape for some smooth crisp lines or paint lines by hand
Start painting the face of the minecraft jack o lantern
I painted it free hand because when I used masking tape, it got some paint off
Paint lines with the brown orange mixture and paint the face with black
Paint the other sides with lines
Finish off with acrylic sealer
