In the second of our summer dining features, we show you how to create colourful placemats for your table.
You will need:
Paper Doilies (available from Hobbycraft, The Range and other good retailers)
Newspaper, cardboard and dust sheets
PlastiKote Fluorescent Spray Paint
How to:
- Spread newspaper/dust sheets out in a well-ventilated working area or preferably outside.
- Place the doilies on cardboard to keep them flat and ensure you have covered the whole doily.
- Apply two to three coats of PlastiKote Fluorescent spray paint. We chose Fluorescent in Pink and Green. Allow 5 – 10 minutes between coats.
- The doilies will be touch dry in 30-50 minutes and thoroughly dry in 2-3 hours.
- Use as placemats or as table centerpieces!
