Painting Galvanized Steel
These galvanized steel watering cans were
not vintage... cute but needed some help.
As I've said before... Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
can stick to almost anything!
I painted the watering can with Robins Egg Blue
then gave it a coat of matte sealer.
The image was actually ironed on
using Riley's TAP Paper and then distressed with
sandpaper and yes... it was a little tricky but it worked!
I distressed the edges of the watering can with
sandpaper to distress it a little bit.
Now it looks much better... fill it with flowers,
use it to water plants, or give it as a gift.
You know what a gardener I am. Love it!

I have some watering cans somewhere. I think probably the person who picked up junk last spring thought they were junk and hide them from me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to "age" some newer home décor! Love the color you chose, too. And you can never go wrong with bees, I always say:)

That looks great. Love the color and of course the bee is the icing!
ReplyDeleteI love when you take a "Meh" to a "WOW"!
ReplyDeleteSusan, these are too cute. Glad to know about the chalk paint can be used this way - never crossed my mind to used on metal. I don't blog much anymore but try to keep up with some of the ones I follow. It looks great!
