Upcycling and repurposing is a great way to keep otherwise usable items out of the landfill.
And nothing can transform a piece as quickly and easily as a bit of spray paint.
you might see all of their creative and inspiring DIY home decor ideas using spray paint below.
and the other was an old metal stool that was just plain ugly!
We love using spray paint for exterior projects, especially metal because of its durability and rust protection.
- verify your working surface is protected as the spray paint can splatter and mark items all around.
Always use spray paint in a well-ventilated area.
Or if youre like me and prefer to spray paint outdoors, avoid windy days!
Apply as many coats of spray paint needed for the surface to be covered.
Spray evenly and at a 6-8 distance to avoid drips and runs.
Allow enough time to dry between coats.
Most spray cans recommend within 4 hours or after 24 hours.
The before and after transformations of our rusty old birdcage and handy metal stool are pretty impressive.
A few coats of spray paint really brought these items which were destined for the landfill back to life.
They look so fresh and inviting as front porch decor.
Searching online, I came across a similar metal yet very rusticdecorative birdcage.
Like it?
Pin it for later!
