Here’s a fun and easy way to add a pop of color to your space that’s anything but boring: Turn a random plastic bucket into something you’d display as a work of art. All you need are a few basic supplies and a bit of imagination and you'll have a custom piece that is sure to wow your friends and family! In this guide, we will show you how to paint plastic buckets to give them a facelift so they can join your organizing party.
The first step in painting your plastic bucket is to get everything together. You will need a plastic bucket, acrylic paint in your chosen colors, paint brushes, painter’s tape and clear sealant. Remember to select paint designed for use on plastic for the best results.
First, give your plastic bucket a good washing to remove any dirt or debris. After the bucket is dry, apply painter’s tape to make any designs or patterns you want to paint on the bucket. This will make it easier for you to make clean lines and sharp edges in your design.
Then pick your first paint color and start painting the bucket. Draw on the paint in even smooth strokes and cover the entire bucket. You will likely need to apply several coats of the paint to get full coverage; let each coat dry entirely, and be patient.
Once satisfied with the colored base coat, peel away the painter's tape and reveal your creation. If you'd like to add some extra detail or accents, you can add them now. Be imaginative and enjoy your handiwork as you can make your painted plastic bucket very unique.
Now that the sealant has dried ("hardened"), your newly painted plastic bucket is dry and you’re ready to go! You can fill it with toys, art supplies and even plants to inject a pop of color and personality into any room. Let your imagination run wild and paint them in different colours, styles and motifs, you will soon have a whole range of set of painted up plastic buckets to show off your style.
In not too much time and with a little creative thinking, you could repurpose boring plastic buckets into chic storage options that reflect your own personal and unique style. So grab your supplies, pull on your painting clothes and prepare to let your inner artist loose with this fun and easy project.
