My Favorite DIY Paint Techniques and Tutorials for Revamps

 

Happy Friday friends! Yay!! The weekend is finally here!

For those of you who happened to miss Monday’s post, I shared my top 10 all-time most popular DIY projects here to celebrate The Creativity Exchange’s  5 year blogiversary.  I thought I would do another top 10 post but today, I wanted to pull together the most popular paint techniques and tips for furniture/accessory revamp projects from the last 5 years.  I love the idea of having the best paint tutorials on one post for you guys to reference whenever you have a revamp project.

The #1 paint/technique post is a post that I do every year, where I update the specific types of paints that I like to use for DIY/craft projects and I link to past tutorials for exactly how I use them (i.e., painting on plastic, metal, glass, etc..).  I have tried almost every paint imaginable and I love to share my favorites to save you guys money/time from having to learn what works and does not.

Here is the #1 paint post:
