Transforming an ordinary trash can in a small living space can enhance decor. Sanding the trash can smooths the surface, followed by primer application. Using acrylic wall paint, multiple coats are applied to create a colorful design. Painters tape helps create patterns, while a final sealing with a polycrylic finish ensures durability. An alternative gingham design inspired by another user suits cottagecore themes, providing different options for personalizing trash cans. This DIY project cleverly combines functionality with aesthetic value.
Hiding your trash can in an apartment rental or dorm room can be a tricky job, especially without cabinetry to stash it out of sight.
Chelsea's DIY trash can makeover involves sanding the surface, applying primer, painting with acrylic wall paint, and creating a striped pattern.
For a gingham design, Chelsea was inspired by another DIY project, providing an alternative that fits a soft, cottagecore aesthetic.
The final touch on the painted trash can is sealing with a water-based polycrylic, resulting in a personalized and aesthetically pleasing look.
