It's so easy to add instant colour to your living room with some scrap wood and Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover spray paint. We used 2X in Gloss Modern Mint to add a crafty storage display on the wall.

YOU WILL NEED:

Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover in your choice of colour

Scraps of wood to make the hexagonal boxes

Wood glue

Newspaper or drop cloth

Gloves

Clamps

 

 

HERE'S HOW:

1. Assemble your storage boxes using wood glue and leave overnight to dry.

2. Shake the can of spray paint for about a minute. You will hear the mixing ball start to rattle around the can. Hold the can about 30cm away from the surface and spray on a light, even coat by moving the can from side-to-side. You will need to apply 2 to 3 coats for maximum coverage, but do allow 30 minutes drying time between each coat.

GOOD TO KNOW: Always spray in a well-ventilated space when using spray paint.

3. Assemble the individual boxes and glue these together.

GOOD TO KNOW: It helps to clamp each section until the glue dries (about an hour) before moving on to the next section.

GOOD TO KNOW: To hang the completed display onto a wall, add a couple of picture hangers to the back of a couple of the boxes.
