Nothing is more satisfying than making your own decorations and displaying them round your home. And we love nothing more than finding new ways to express our creativity with PlastiKote spray paint. So our tip this month is a Christmas one.  Take one can of 100ml can of Fast Dry Enamel spray paint (around £3.99), find bits and pieces found around the home and garden and make your own sparkling decorations that won’t cost a fortune.

For the less experienced crafter, spray paint dried leaves, ivy, fruit or frames and decorate your table, walls and Christmas trees. Use colour or metallic, whichever suits your theme.

 

 

 

 

If you’re a more experienced crafter, make salt dough decorations or this cute little pasta angel. We’d love to hear your ideas so do get in touch at info@spraypaintideas.co.uk.

 

 

A little can of spray paint goes a long way!

What do you do with your leftover PlastiKote spray paint?

It’s not unusual to have a few cans with some paint left in them and it’s a shame to waste it. Why not get creative and do a mini makeover? Frames, candlesticks, an old wine bottle, tin cans – the list is endless. You could even recycle something you have to make the perfect present for a loved one.

Here are a few ideas: colourful lids for your homemade chutney, bookends made from rocks or personalised paperweights from stones, gift boxes for a special present, old tins transformed into stylish kitchen canisters or slightly crushed cans into unusual vases!

PlastiKote Spray Paint helps you tidy up the bottom of the wardrobe with this simple but pretty storage solution. Spray old shoeboxes in your choice of colour, then take a picture of the shoes to be stored and print them out. Stick the picture to the end of the sprayed box and you’ll never again have to rifle through the depths of your wardrobe to find your favourite footwear. Why not spray wooden coat hangers in the same colour for a very co-ordinated look?

Our PlastiKote spray paint top tip is to pop the bottle or pot upside down on a garden cane and stick it in the ground. This allows you to move around the object you’re spraying, getting to all areas, and it’s perfect for leaving them to dry!
