Wicker Makeover with Paint
Transform wicker furniture with paint! Add paint to a wicker bench to give it a fun new look that will fit in with your home. See how this bench looked before and after the paint treatment. This project was compensated as part of my design team status with DecoArt however all projects and opinions are my own.
Equipment
- Wicker furniture piece
- Old large paint brush
- Small paint brush in good condition
- Paper plate or newspaper
What You Will Need
- Americana Chalky Finish from DecoArt in Everlasting
- Americana Multi Surface in Gold Metallic for the feet
Instructions
- Wipe down the furniture to get rid of dust or cobwebs.
- To paint the body of the furniture, dip your old brush into the chalky finish paint then wipe it on a paper plate or newspaper until the brush is almost dry. Rub it vigorously back and forth on the wicker until the paint is completely used up. The wicker should have a rustic, worn, beachy vibe.
- After I had completely painted the wicker portion, I allowed it to dry for a couple of hours. I then turned the bench up to paint the feet with the gold metallic. It took 3 – 4 coats per side to get that shiny surface.
- Allow everything to dry completely, then display indoors.
