Clear Accent Card. Use clear scrapbooking embellishments to add quick detail to a card. Die-cut flowers from a transparency, then adhere small colorful circles to the end of each petal. Attach a fabric scrap to the center to easily express your sentiment.
Recycle empty paint cans with other metals. If dried paint fills a can to a depth of about a half inch or less, dry it in the can and recycle the paint can. If you have a more-or-less full can of dried latex paint, unfortunately, the next step is to remove the lid and toss the whole can in with the trash. We agree.
A plastic scrubbing pad like this does a good job of removing paint from the ferrel and handle. Use a brush comb and dislodge any paint from the base of the bristles. When the brush is thoroughly dry, clean it with a cloth or paper towel. Thereâs no need to rinse. Now, the next time youâre ready to paint, your brush will be clean and supple. To store the brush, lay it on the top of a glossy magazine page, fold the paper around the brush and tape it closed. Now if youâre doing a really large paint job, itâs a good idea to stop every couple of hours and clean your brush.
