Can you paint bamboo blinds.
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.
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.
We painted the trim all in sw alabaster one of my 50 favorite colors.
It s not a difficult job even for those without any genuine artistic talent.
We just replaced the hardwood floors.
It doesn t really bother me but i wanted to give you a heads up if you plan on doing a similar project.
Step 1 prepare the bamboo.
You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds.
There are several different options for painting and not all of them need a paintbrush.
Use the existing weave of the shade to keep the placemat together.
Apply paint on the edges and then set each.
Bamboo blinds always look great.
In the next picture the left side has 2 coats and the right side only one.
I want to show you how.
Cut a 19 x 14 section out of your bamboo blinds to make an easy diy placemat.
I did attach a white liner to the back with spray adhesive which helps a little.
We just painted these mini blinds.
Paint one side of each slat with with acrylic based enamel paint using a paintbrush.
So quick and easy.
I used two trestles and some leftover wood.
Use what you have on hand.
This type of paint will hold up well over time and is easy to clean.
You can paint bamboo blinds to customize them into the existing theme of your home.
And then spray until the brown is gone.
But i have always dreaded the mess smell and preparation.
Yes our bamboo mini blinds.
Via style at home.
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.
