Last year I wrote for my Blog Cakesandpumps already a post about this nice DIY to paint spray Mason Jars or Weck pots and to use them as pots for pencils and other office stuff. Or for cooking stuff. in the mean time my atelier is a little bit more finished and I could definitely use some new pots for my pencils and scissors. I like it a lot, since my desk is always full with stuff like pencils and markers that I should really put into a jar or something. So to keep it a little bit more clean I could really use this to clean my desk a little bit. Haha does that sound familiar to you too, then you should try this DIY. It’s an easy thing to do, the waiting for the paint to dry takes much more time than the DIY itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First I bought a Mason Jar, I bought one at Trekpleister (local farmacie store), but you can buy them everywhere these days. But the mason jar seems a little bit small to me for my markers, so I decided to buy two weck jars at de Boerenbond (shop in Holland). But I think you can buy them everywhere these days.
The next thing was to find the paint spray in my village. I know, I could have bought it through the internet, but I want to paint it now and not wait a couple of days;-). So I found this paint spray form Flexa,
Copper red Metallic spray.<\/a>
I wished it was a little bit more shiny, but unfortunately it wasn’t. Then I changed into some old clothes. I didn’t know what to expect, because I never used a painting spray before. But when I started I was glad that I was wearing these old clothes;-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
