-
In a well-ventilated space, cover a flat surface with a drop cloth or tarp.
-
Before starting, read the Krylon® labels for safety and application instructions.
-
To start the project, paint the cork tiles. Paint one tile using Krylon® ColorMaster® Paint + Primer in Gloss Navy Blue. Paint the other two tiles using Krylon® ColorMaster® Paint + Primer in Matte Aqua. Because cork is extremely porous, apply three coats on each tile and then let them dry to touch.
-
Once the tiles are dry to the touch, add alphabet stickers to create personalized accent designs. You can also use painter’s tape to make a triangle design. Once the alphabet stickers and painter’s tape are adhered to the cork tiles, spray paint them with the opposite Krylon® blue shade that you initially used to spray the tiles.
-
Once the tiles were dry to the touch again, removed the letters and the tape to reveal the design.
-
Next, refresh old metal desk supplies with Krylon® ColorMaster® Paint + Primer. For the pictured look, paint a pen holder in Krylon® ColorMaster® Paint + Primer in Matte Aqua and paint a mail sorter in Krylon® ColorMaster® Paint + Primer in Gloss Navy Blue. Use 1 coat for the pictured look.
-
To create a space for a to-do or grocery list, tape off the dry-erase section of an existing dry-erase board (or create your own with Krylon® Dry Erase Paint), leaving only the frame exposed. Paint the frame Krylon® ColorMaster® Paint + Primer in Gloss Navy Blue.
-
Once the paint is fully dry, add some metallic detail using Krylon® Leafing Pen in Silver.
-
Lastly, spray paint a key hook rail to keep track of your keys. Remove the hooks from the rail and painted it with one coat of Krylon® ColorMaster® Paint + Primer in Matte Aqua.
-
After the rail is dry, screw in the hooks.
-
OPTIONAL: Use the Krylon® Leafing Pen in Silver to write on containers to keep organized (ie: BATTERIES or THANK YOU NOTES).
