    If I understand correctly what you're talking about, you can draw the line around your box using the pen tool. Then right click the path and apply a stroke path. In the stroke path dialogue that will pop up, select 'brush' and check simulate pressure. You can pick which brush you want it to simulate by setting your brush before setting your stroke path.

    Right-click, not double click. I'm using CS4.
