DIY Christmas Bells In Under An Hour

With just six weeks until Christmas, now is the perfect time to start those festive DIY projects that make your home feel extra special. These plastic pots turned shimmering Christmas bells are the perfect DIY spray paint project, guaranteed to make a statement in your home.  What’s more, they’re done in under an hour.

What you’ll need:

• Plastic pots
• MTN Australia Universal Plastic Primer
• MTN Australia Hardcore Gold Class
• 1-2cm thick rope
• White ribbon

How to do it:

Step 1:

Spray an even coat of MTN Australia Universal Plastic Primer on the outside of the plastic pots. Allow them to dry completely.

Step 2:

Flip the pots over and spray an even coat of MTN Australia Universal Plastic Primer on the inside of the pots. Allow to dry.

Step 3:

Spray MTN Australia Hardcore Gold Gloss to the outside of the pots. Build up the gold spray paint in light layers until you’re happy with the coverage. Allow to dry.

Step 4:

Again, flip the pots and spray the inside of them with MTN Australia Hardcore Gold Gloss. Let them dry.

Step 5:

Cut a hole in the centre of each plastic pot base, just wide enough for the rope to pass through.

Step 6:

Thread one length of rope through the hole in one of the plastic pots and tie a knot to keep it secure. Repeat this for the other plastic pot.

Step 7:

Cut a 40-60 cm length of ribbon and tie a bow around the rope where it meets the pot. Repeat for the second pot.

Step 8:

Hang your new Christmas bells and enjoy the festive sparkle!
