Spray painting is incredibly rewarding and shockingly easy. Check out these three unique ways to elevate ordinary items using just a few coats of spray paint.

How to Spray Paint Vases and Jars

Yet another common thrift store find we all love? Vases and jars! In just a matter of minutes, you can transform your containers from meh to jaw-droppingly awesome simply by spray painting them. You’ll be surprised to find that the super simple technique we used to achieve this polished trendy look is really easy.

How to Spray Paint a Basket

Turn a plain old basket into a statement piece your guests will swear is from that trendy home décor store. You can get creative with your design, but for this project, we made two stripes using painter’s tape and two coats of spray paint.

How to Spray Paint a Frame

Frames are another thrift store find that can benefit exponentially from a little upcycling. We offer a simple technique that results in a chic look for a truly special gallery wall effect, or a simple accent for your bedside table. We opted for a solid color with our frame, but you can get extra fancy by making patterns on the frame with painter’s tape (one simple, cool option is to tape off all four corners and paint the rest of the frame). Thrifting just got a whole lot more fun (and cost-effective!). Why overpay for a gold-accented mason jar when you can make your own in no time? Now that you know how to customize some common items with just spray paint and painter’s tape, you can deck out your home and add extra personal touches to your space.
