About this deal

Apply your topcoat– For your topcoat, choose an indoor, heat-resistant paint, latex paint. Choose a paint that is rated to withstand temperatures generated by the fireplace (generally about 200°F). You can use satin, eggshell or a gloss finish. I used Colourtrend Cherished White, as my topcoat, and I applied two coats. As you can see, it was an orange pine colour. However, the fireplace itself was in fantastic condition so, it would have been a shame not to save it. Now, because I have a small car, I rented a van from GoCarfor €11. I politely asked my brothers if they would collect it for me. What paint to use on the plastic playhouse I have mine styled in my bedroom on my pink couch.

I have been spending a lot more time in the garden in the past few weeks. It has become an extra room in my home. I am also loving the beautiful weather we have been having. I wanted to sew myself a small apron as I am forever leaving down my tools and forgetting where I put them. I also needed somewhere to pop my phone into, As I use it to listen to audiobooks while I am in the garden. To prepare the plastic before painting, use a degreaser to remove dirt and oils. I used Omniclean by Autetnico to wash down the plastic playhouse. As this has been in a garden, it was full of spider and cobwebs, so I gave it a blast of the power washer as well. Allow enough time between coats for each coat to completely dry. Make sure to let your fireplace fully dry and cure before styling it, as you do not want your perfect paint job to chip or lift on you. The 1st pouch measures – 13 inches wide and 9 inches in length, when boxing the corners I measure 1 inch from the point. I used a 14-inch zip and trimmed to size.I then applied my pom poms to the cushion using fabric glue. You could hand stitch your pom poms onto your cushion, however, I opted to glue them on as I had so many. Combine these ingredients to form a dough, roll it out, cut out your desired shapes, and bake until hard. Once cooled, let your imagination run wild with paints, glitter, and embellishments.

For the first 2-3 weeks, be extra careful with your freshly painted woodwork. Although paint will be touch dry, to avoid chipping allow it time to cure. Try to avoid bashing your painted skirting boards with the hoover, at least for the first two weeks anyway. Once the paint has cured, it should be able to withstand a bit of wear and tear. Lightly scuff sand the surface of the playhouse and wipe away any dust before applying the paint. Use a spray gun!

I used Autentico Versante Mattpaint on the plastic playhouse. I used this paint on the other cubby house and also on my shed. Since painting both of these in Versante Matt, I have had no problems with the paint range, and it has lasted. If you want to learn to make your garden apron, then press play on the video below. I have timestamps to each DIY garden project included in the intro to the video. Inside my book, you will find five sections and fifty projects. In the book, I have sections for afternoon crafts, sewing, recycling projects ( small and large), and of course, a garden section to let yourself bloom. The Versante Matt range has a built-in primerand is also self-sealing, so no need to wax or varnish after applying. It does have a matt feel, so if you are not a fan of the matt feel, you could try the eggshell paint. However, you will have to use a primer with the eggshell range.

When I saw a cubby house listed for €25, I bid straight away, no bargaining, just a bid! Here is my YouTube video sharing how I made over my little tikes plastic playhouse. I hope you find one second-hand, or if you already have one, I hope this inspires you to give it a makeover. As I used the Versante Matt, I didn’t have to apply a primer. How do I prep the plastic before painting?Begin by measuring your notebook. Trace the measurements out on your fabric and add extra material for a seam allowance. As you will see in the video, I added extra width of the side flaps to create a sleeve for the notebook to slide inside.

Use a hose and soapy water to clean, and avoid using a power washer, and a power washer could cause the paint to lift. Video!
