Paint is such a wonderful medium to transform something into a work of art.

Here are some ideas.. 1. Paint an old watering can with a flower design for a plant holder. 2. Spray paint an old chair and re-cover the seat with an off cut material from the fabric store. 3. Paint on old bench in the garden. Try an antique green colour and use a stencil to apply a floral or leafy design along the top back-rest. 4. Cut an ornamental palm or leaf from your garden. Use it as a stencil for a lovely summer cotton sarong. Secure the leaf with pieces of Prestik so that it does not shift. Dab acrylic paint on with a stencil brush. 5. Stencil brushes can be bought at your local arts and crafts store. 6. Print a note card with printing ink and rubber stamp. Enjoy your project!

@dianadee Exactly. In fact I am interested more in crafts than arts. I am always looking for ideas on pinterest. There are many D.I.Y things that I have tried to do like cards, sew a dress, headbands,...
