Craft Time is Family Time

By Rick Allen

I have to admit that I love this time of year.  Fall is here and that means an abundance of beautiful colours for many of us all over the country.  But, what I really like is the Fall Holidays.  So, when my friends at Krylon asked me to write an article for their web site, I was ecstatic.  Who has a better colour selection than Krylon paints?  Next,  I begin to think about what to write about, that's when it hit me.  Krylon's new H20 paint, as well as their standard flat paints, would workgreat on my family's exterior Halloween Decorations.  In a world where we run non-stop daylight till midnight, the opportunity for some family time laughing, learning and creating something together is well past due for most of us.  Read more

Back to School: Room Makeover in a Flash

Want to brighten up your garden or home, or add some movement and fluidity to a dull space? You can do it very simply and affordably with any of Krylon’s metallic spray paints. Start by looking at fashion magazines, automobiles and even everyday products for inspiration. One of today’s trends, for example, is to pair bright jewel-toned accents with a yellow metallic (gold or brass) to make an object really “pop.” Another is to use a grey metallic (silver, aluminum, brushed nickel) to create a natural yet sophisticated look.

Reuse, Repaint, Restyle

Whether you’re hoping to reduce the size of the local landfill, or just save some cash yourself, the idea of reusing old furniture and accessories can be very appealing.
