Spray Painting
This is the easiest idea to decorate your useful but boring heavy-duty bins. Get some spray paint and bring out your creativity to customize them. Here is what you need:
- Spray paint
- Newspaper
- Painter’s tape
Step 1:
First of all, wash them because the paint does not stick well to a dirty surface. Rinse it thoroughly with a mild soap. Dry it completely.
Step 2:
Cover the floor with newspaper. You don’t want the paint to be all over the floor once you are done. Do this job in the outdoors.
Step 3:
Pick the color of your choice. You can use different colors for multiple coatings. Make sure that there is a gap of 15 minutes between two coatings.
Step 4:
After applying the desired number of coatings, leave the bin for 48 hours to dry.
Wrap with washi tape
Got a cool-looking washi tape at home? Good.
Step 1:
Place the washi tape on one of the top corners of the bin and start wrapping. Make a straight line until the tape goes all the around.
Step 2:
Repeat step 1 and work your way down. Use your creativity to mix colors and make patterns.
Add Labels
You have a number of bins with no labels. It is frustrating to look for items in these
boxes. When all looks the same, we are likely to forget where we put particular
items. Don’t let it frustrate you. Let’s make your boxes functional and decorative.
Step 1:
First of all, decorate your clear storage bins. You can spray paint it or decorate with
washi tape.
Step 2:
Add labels so that you can categorize your items and keep them in dedicated
bins.
Use Your Painting Skills
