Here’s a really quick and easy leaf make for Halloween using PlastiKote spray paint. Take a can of Fast Dry Enamel white spray paint (or any leftover white spray paint) and spray dried sycamore leaves or similar. Allow to dry before adding eyes with a black marker. A simple Halloween decoration done in a flash! You could also use PlastiKote’s Glow in the Dark for a spectacular effect in the dark!

Mini make: upcycle catering tin cans with PlastiKote spray paint

Besides feeding lots of people, here’s another great reason to buy catering-size cans of food – they make fantastic planters! It’s also a great way of using up leftover PlastiKote spray paint.

Make sure the cans are  clean and dry before applying a couple of coats of Twist & Spray Colour. They’ll last all summer and, if you take them in over the winter, you can plant them up next spring. Here’s some of our ideas – if you also like our tin can bug in the final picture you can find out how to make it here.

Mini makes: Wedding favour jars with PlastiKote spray paint

These wedding favours jars are so easy to make and PlastiKote spray paint offers a wide range of colours to complement your wedding scheme. We got the glass jars from Hobbycraft but you can pick up similar ones in many kitchen and craft shops. Choose one or more colours from PlastiKote’s Twist & Spray Colour range to match the wedding’s theme and spray the lids. Fill the jars with sweets, chocs, homemade pickle, jams, mini eggs for an Easter wedding, chocolate snowballs for a Christmas one – there’s so much to choose from! When the lids are completely dry, pop them back on the jars. Finish with a ribbon or raffia bow. Your guests will be delighted!

Mini makes: summer dining ideas from PlastiKote spray paint

We’re starting to think about alfresco dining now that it seems summer is finally here! Bright fluorescents look fab on a summer table and it’s easy and affordable to do with PlastiKote spray paint. Spray paper doilies with the Fluorescent colour of your choice and allow to dry. Instant table mats that look stunning – inside or out.

A terracotta pot sprayed with Fluorescent makes a great centerpiece and so useful for cutlery, napkins, even to carry the condiments out to the barbecue! Our top tip for terracotta is to use Twist & Spray Primer as terracotta is very porous.

Mini makes: feather wall hanging with PlastiKote spray paint

Here’s a simple mini-make using PlastiKote spray paint.

Take a pack of feathers from a craft shop or collect a few on a winter’s walk. Use masking tape to mask off the ends or make a striped pattern, then spray. We used PlastiKote Fast Dry Enamel in Gold Leaf and Copper Metallic but you could use any colour or metallic that you have or that matches your décor. Attach with string to a small branch and hang in pride of place! So simple but so effective!
