Instructions to makeover a Watering Can

Use my quick tips and learn from me… I may or may not have had to paint this cutie 2x. Arg.

  1. Use a good spray paint (think quality over quantity… aka: avoid the bottom row of the spray paint aisle! Cheap spray paint will cost you more in time and you’ll use more as 1-2 coats won’t cover it.) Anyway, give the entire watering can a good spray, 1-2 coats will do. Note: If you want to use real florals, be sure to tape off the inside.
  2. Once completely dry, use your foam brush and apply the pink paint to the long part of the spout and the base of the can. I used 2 light coats.
  3. That’s it! Let it completely dry then add florals (real or fake) for instant spring ambience!

Sneak peek! Check out the full makeover of this painted watering can, in just minutes (and with a little paint) it was transformed to a pretty and EASY spring decor! #homedecor #topspringideas #freshspringideas #springhomedecor

In order to get the blush pink hue I wanted, I had to mix 2 pinks I had on hand. The color I linked to will achieve a similar resemblance. 🙂
