Today I thought I'd share a little project I did this winter when I was trapped in the apartment. We have a very small bathroom so it looks cluttered very quickly, especially with all the hair products I use. There were brushes, combs, flat irons & a blow dryer in a very tight corner tumbling over onto the floor. We just couldn't find anything we liked to contain all these items. Then I had an "AH HA!" moment. We had these little buckets that my aunt have given us as gifts a million years ago that just sat in a cabinet. I decided they would be perfect for our needs. This is how I went about it.
Step 1. find a bucket to paint, then clean it off with a bit of soap & water
Step 2. Buy spray paint in the color of you choice. Krylon (ballet slipper) is our favorite since it covers all type of surfaces. We do tend to prime most items though. Especially the glossy/shiny surfaces.
Step 3. After priming spray paint your bucket then let it dry. I waited a few hours between coats, for full coverage it took 2-3 coats. Then add decals if that is your choice. I waited a full 24hrs before I added the decals.
Step 4.Last step was to use a clear coat of Krylon to protect not only the decals but the paint.
Now since I did this in the winter time I was not able to go outside. I just used a large box in a well ventilated room. Had a fan running & a couple windows cracked.
