Big up to Sarah for keeping us going to this lovely bubbly round number!
I have a small amount of action going on - I thought I should tidy and ended up painting!
I acquired a tray full of out-of-date Pringles from a shopkeeper friend and having rinsed and wiped the tubs, decided they’d be good for a decoupage stunt at WI. Then I realised that the vibrant red of the pots would take a more covering than a gal can contemplate, so I’ve set about undercoating them in white. The first layer was poster paint and barely made a difference. I rummaged furiously and found all sorts of odd tubes of white acrylic paint, so they’re all now well on their way to being opaquely white. Then they can sit quietly in a box with a couple of packs of natty napkins and some glue spreaders (‘found’ over many trips to a Costa) . They are a back up plan, so we have something to do if a speaker has to make a last minute cancellation. Hasn’t happened yet, so I might even get time to make a sample and test run the theory!

Sarah’s for creativity overflow, it’s free it’s harmless, it can be enabling and it’s always inspiring. Have a lovely day!

That activity sounds like a mindless but enjoyable thing to do, brain in neutral, paint the pots one by one and before you know it, it’s all done! The decoupage will be fun, hope you get a chance to do it.

What a fun idea to do with the boxes….handy to put pens etc in when finished.
