A great way of adding interest to boring cupboards is to spray the doorknobs. We’ve found the easiest way to do this is to place the doorknobs on kebab sticks and push into soil or polystyrene. This enables you to spray the entire doorknob without handling it.
In the first of our summer dining features we show you how to create beautiful vases for your table centrepiece from empty wine bottles.
You will need:
Empty wine bottles
Newspaper/dust sheets
Elastic bands
PlastiKote Stained Glass Spray Paint

With thanks to artist Olivier Jamin who recently sent us some pictures of his work in which he uses Valspar spray paint. Olivier describes himself below:
I am a deaf contemporary artist who specialises in hand drawn multi-coloured art, using stencils, mixed media and pens, pencils, paints, and spray pant. My aim is to produce work that combines the effect of colours and patterns and raise people’s imagination and awareness through my own life experience and in particular my deafness, travels, dreams, colours and ideas. I am well known in mainstream communities around the UK and amongst the Deaf & Hard of Hearing community.
The main picture is called VW Camper -Split Van’s Long Flame. More of his pictures are reproduced below.
