Unlock the full potential of your garden as a place to work and create with this clever project using Cuprinol<\/a>\u00a0garden fence paint. This project is also a great way to use up leftover paint you have lying around from previous projects.<\/p>\n

What you’ll need<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 1L tin of whatever Cuprinol Garden Shades colour you have (Honey Mango was used in this project)<\/li>\n
  • 50ml of a different Cuprinol Garden Shades colour (Black Ash was used in this project)<\/li>\n
  • Spirit level<\/li>\n
  • Masking tape<\/li>\n
  • Small foam roller and tray<\/li>\n
  • 1 x 2″ paintbrush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Step 1<\/h3>\n

    Using a spirit level, mark a square on the wall (approx 100cm) and tape around the edge. Make sure the tape is firmly pressed into any grooves to enable you to paint crisp lines.<\/p>\n
