Can you paint bamboo blinds.
All these years i have stayed away from painting for these reasons and many more such as lack of knowledge space constraints difficulties of painting with a toddler at home and even the impatience of having to let dry between coats.
There are several different options for painting and not all of them need a paintbrush.
That s not an obstacle to painting the piece but you want to clean it thoroughly first because penetrating oils tend to pick up dirt.
We just painted these mini blinds.
I did attach a white liner to the back with spray adhesive which helps a little.
It doesn t really bother me but i wanted to give you a heads up if you plan on doing a similar project.
I used two trestles and some leftover wood.
Use the existing weave of the shade to keep the placemat together.
This is our breakfast room.
Bamboo isn t as porous as wood but penetrating oils still soak in and if you have a newish piece of bamboo furniture it may have a coat of tung or linseed oil.
We painted the trim all in sw alabaster one of my 50 favorite colors.
But i have always dreaded the mess smell and preparation.
So quick and easy.
Paint one side of each slat with with acrylic based enamel paint using a paintbrush.
It s not a difficult job even for those without any genuine artistic talent.
Secure your woven section with this technique.
Bamboo blinds always look great.
Painting bamboo blinds painting is a task i love.
Apply paint on the edges and then set each.
It looks great at night but you can see that the sunlight breaks up the black stripes during the day because it is a bamboo shade after all.
In the next picture the left side has 2 coats and the right side only one.
Use what you have on hand.
You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds.
And then spray until the brown is gone.
We just replaced the hardwood floors.
This type of paint will hold up well over time and is easy to clean.
I want to show you how.
Step 1 prepare the bamboo.
Yes our bamboo mini blinds.
