How to Decorate a Plastic Bin
- 1). Cut out shapes or figures from old magazines, comics or catalogs using a craft knife. Cut as close to the edge of the shape as possible so you don't leave borders that will spoil the painted effect.
- 2). Paste over the outside surface of the bin with PVA glue.
- 3). Dampen one cutout with water and place it on the bin, brushing it down with a brush soaked in PVA glue. Use the brush to smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles. Repeat brushing down more images, overlapping them slightly until the bin is covered in pictures. Leave to dry.
- 4). Seal the bin with a final coat of PVA glue and leave to dry.
