Finding the Right Paint for Your Recycled Crafts

Recycling is the best way to dispose of your garbage. Just get your creative mode out there. Plastic bottles, amazon boxes, beer cans, bottle caps, old newspapers, and other plastic containers are mostly used for this crafts.

Your best friend is your glue gun. This is the fastest way and the most sturdy way to put things together. Since you are dealing with old stuff you want to make it look new and with the wow factor.

You need to have a paint that won't crust and crack especially when you put your recycled stuff under the sun or rain.

Never use water based acrylic paint if you desire to put your crafts out in the garden.

Painting is a lot of fun. If you are a beginner you need to start with an acrylic paint which gives you a solid color. This can be helpful if you want to base your plastic bottles and hide the labels that you cannot remove through scrubbing them in warm water and soap.

I have a recycled project which is a huge butterfly and I planned to put it out in the garden. So, I bought a regular paint from the grocery and after two days under the sun, the paint from my butterfly cracked. I had to repair it since my daughter really wanted to see a big butterfly in our garden. So, I did repaint the butterfly but this time I used a nice acrylic paint. Most of these types of paints are expensive but there are packages that will be budget friendly and it only uses a small amount to paint so many. So, done deal, I like it.  Even if you mix a little bit of water in this type of paint, it still looks solid!
The more crafts you make from recycling, the more you make mother nature smile.
