Happy Tuesday, Bogland!
It's 'Get Crafty' time with this very simple, affordable and fun DIY project!
I added some chic stye to 5 different items for my home office, closet and bathroom using 1 can of gold spray paint. I also provide more creative idea options to try, but the possibilities are endless.
This is a quick, easy and super affordable way to add a bit of a face lift, so to speak, on items you most likely already have or just want to take from drab to fab.
Enjoy, and let's get started! :)
✢ Painter's Tape Roll
✢ Rust-Oleum Specialty Metallic Gold Spray Paint
(any is fine, but I've found the Rust-Oleum brand to offer the most realistic gold look)
✢ Krylon Interior-Exterior Fast Dry or Mod Podge Gloss Sealer (optional)
✢ Items To Spray Paint (see below)
_______________________________________________________________
1. Ceramic Camel Ring Dish
Forever 21 = $4.80
(Similar Bird Ring Dish)
2. Plastic Baskets
Target 1 Spot = $1.00 /each
(Similar $1 Baskets)
3. Plastic Hangers
Given with Purchase = Free
(any plastic hanger will work - I always ask at check-out to keep mine)
4. Metal File Organizer
IKEA = $6.99 /2 pack
(Similar File Organizers)
5. Medium Binder Clips
Staples = $1.79
✢ Be sure to stand at least a foot away from the item you are spraying to get a smooth, even coverage, or the paint will end up getting heavy and could leave drip marks.
✢ Press painter's tape down firmly on all edges to prevent spray paint from seeping underneath and leaving paint where you don't want it.
✢ If paint does end up where you don't want it while spraying ceramic, like the camel dish, once completely dry and before using a top coat, you can scrape it away
with your nail or a flat metal edge.
✢ Though not a necessary step, I do recommend using a top coat seal on any items that will get more 'wear and tear' and to add extra protection, especially on
the hangers. Plus, it adds a nice, smooth sheen to the items and you can
choose a glossy or matte finish.
Scissors / Stapler / Jumbo Paper Clip / Shoe Tape Dispenser / Pencil Holder / Nail File
✢ If you aren't much of a Gold person, you can always use Silver Metallic Spray Paint on items that aren't silver or any color you choose.
✢ Creativity is limitless and has no boundaries, just have fun! :)
