Paint Your Home Pretty: Tackle your Home To-Do List
(BPT) - We all have home improvement projects on our to-do lists. However, often the hustle
and bustle of life keeps us from getting them done. Following are a few projects you can
quickly tackle to help cross off some of your to-do list DIY projects featuring Krylon paints.
DIY Mason jar herb garden
We all have mismatched jars cluttering our cupboards or attics. Fortunately, Mason jars are
the ideal size to create anything from a flower vase, an herb garden or desktop organizer, and
the raised outer design adds a touch of whimsy and nostalgia. With just a bit of spray paint,
your clutter can be transformed into a clever creation.
After thoroughly cleaning the jars, simply spray several light coats onto the jars using your
favorite shades of Krylon ColorMaster spray paint. The unique formula dries in just 10 minutes
and is available in nearly 100 brilliant colors and finishes to meet all your color and durability
needs. Once dry, you now have a beautiful new vessel to hold anything from plants to pencils.
Terracotta potted plant house numbers
Why settle for "ho hum" house numbers? Instead convert ceramic or terra cotta pots into an
eye-catching address marker with creative curb appeal.
To start, be sure that each pot has a clean and smooth surface. Next, apply primer to the
surface and allow to dry, using a white primer for light colors and a gray primer for dark colors.
Next, paint each pot in a different color of spray paint and let dry. Finally, place a stencil for
each house number on the center of each pot and spray with a light coat of paint. Arrange your
pots in the proper order, fill with flowers and voila ... you now have an original and welcoming
way to announce your address.
Colorful hand-built and stenciled headboard
Does your headboard need help? Paint can take any piece of furniture from blah to beautiful.
So instead of replacing your hated headboard, rejuvenate it.
Start by sanding and cleaning your current headboard to ensure you have a smooth surface.
Next apply primer. Once dry, spray the headboard in your favorite color of spray paint. And
don't limit yourself to just one color. You can use painter's tape to cover different areas to
create a multi-color surface - or add embellishments, such as stencils. The opportunities are
endless.
