Spray paint your concrete vase

Creative designs on concrete using permanent spray

Concrete is an incredibly versatile material and is really easy to work with. Concrete for crafting is available in larger DIY stores and can be cast into all sorts of shapes and sizes. Take a look at this vase, for instance, which we think makes a fabulous home accessory. You can give it an individual look with edding permanent spray – and turn it into a real eye-catcher in no time at all. In total, there are 37 colours to choose from, including the latest trendy shades. We chose neo mint and pastel rose for ours, two colours which go brilliantly together. Our video tutorial and step-by-step instructions give you an easy guide to spray painting concrete – so even beginners can get awesome results really quickly! In our video, we also show you a range of other surfaces that are ideal for decorating with spray paint.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Cover your work surface carefully with masking film. When you’ve chosen your paint colour, shake the spray can for 3 minutes, then remove the sprayhead and prise off the safety ring with the aid of the screwdriver. In our example, we used neo mint (colour code 939) and edel mauve (935).

Step 2

Briefly test the spray jet on a piece of scrap paper. We offer sprayheads in different widths, so you can swap them over as required.

Step 3

The top third of the vase doesn’t need painting, so this area should be carefully masked with film. Now spray on the first colour (neo mint). We recommend that you spray continuously at a distance of approx. 25 cm, using horizontal and vertical strokes, so that the paint covers more evenly.
