Mini make: celebrate St Patrick’s Day in style with PlastiKote spray paint!
Treat the family to a pot of gold this month on St Patrick’s Day (Thursday 17th March in case you aren’t sure!). In fact, using PlastiKote spray paint, this gorgeous pot would be a glorious gift any day of the year.
Apply a couple of coats of PlastiKote Twist & Spray in the colour of your choice to a clean flower pot, following instructions on the can. When thoroughly dry, use colourful pipe cleaners to fashion a rainbow and attach to the inside of the pot. Fill with foil-covered chocs!
How to: make an Easter Garland with PlastiKote Spray Paint
Make Easter even more special this year! Here’s how to make a fabulous Easter garland with PlastiKote spray paint.
You will need:
String
PVA glue
Balloons
Newspaper/dust sheets
PlastiKote Fast Dry Enamel in various colours
We bought all our items for the garland from The Range.
How to
- Blow up balloons to an egg shape of between 8-10cm
- Pour some PVA glue into a large bowl and dilute with one third water. Soak string in the glue solution, then wrap the string around a balloon until it starts to hold the egg shape.
- Repeat for the desired number you wish to use and hang the balloons to dry.
- When completely dry, carefully burst the balloons inside the string egg shape and remove any remaining pieces of balloon.
- Spread newspaper/dust sheet out in a well-ventilated working area or outside.
- Using PlastiKote Fast Dry Enamel, spray the string egg shapes with your choice of colour.
- Attach the eggs to a length of string, fishing wire or ribbon to make the garland.
- Display your garland for a lovely Easter decoration!
