Project Instructions

Step: 1

Start by spraying the tins with Krylon Interior/Exterior Primer (51318). If the tins already have a design on them that you are tyring to cover, you may need to spray a couple of layers of primer. Allow paint to dry between layers.


Step: 2

Once all tins are evenly coated and dry, spray all the tins with Krylon Interior/Exterior Flat White (51502). Wait for the paint to completely dry.


Step: 3

Take the extra large, medium and extra small tins and tape evenly spaced vertical lines all around the side of each tin.


Step: 4

Cover the top and bottom of each tin used in the previous step with either tape or newspaper and spray Krylon Interior/Exterior Gum Drop (51513) around the side of each tin.


Step: 5

After the paint dries, carefully remove the tape from the sides.


Step: 6

Finish off with a protective coat of Krylon Matte Finish (1311)


Step: 7

Decorate with fresh or faux hydrangeas or other flowers that align with your color pallet.


Step: 8

Display with cake accessories on a table or even a cake plate or cake pedestal.


Tips

Drying time is critical! If the paint is still wet when you remove the tape, it may peel off so in this case, patience is very important.
