Enhance an Umbrella Stand
A splash of cheerful color for an umbrella stand will add a new dimension to your indoor décor. Ace can help make this project easy with the paint, supplies and expert advice you need.
What You'll Need:
- Clark+Kensington® interior paint
- Primer
- 1.5" angled paintbrush
- Paint tray and liner
- Paint stir stick
- Painter's tape
- Tape measure
- Pencil
The first step is to prep and prime. Measure the height of your accent color area and mark it with a pencil. Then apply painter's tape around the stand outside of the marks. Use the paintbrush to apply primer.
Once the primer has dried, stir up your can of Clark+Kensington® Paint Fruit Basket 25B-6 and apply two coats with the brush, giving each coat time to dry before applying the next. Work carefully to avoid any drips or runs.
Helpful Tip:
Remove the painter's tape before the paint has finished drying to create nice clean lines
Once your finish dries, put your creation by the front door and you have a handy new home for your umbrellas. It's the perfect project for a rainy day! All it takes to get it done is the right paint and some expert advice from Ace…the helpful place.
