Preparing For An Outdoor Party- Part 5…
OK…so the outdoor birthday party was almost a month ago and I still haven’t gotten around to posting everything I did in preparation for it. I never got around to hanging the drop cloth drapes but I did get around to painting the wicker furniture… and here it is! I will get to posting the actual party within the next couple of days.
- Plant Flowers
- Paint Wicker Furniture
- Make Lanterns
- Fix and Paint Picnic Table
- Make Drop Cloth Tablecloths or Buy Flat Sheets from Wal-Mart
- Make Drop Cloth Drapes for Back Porch I NEVER GOT AROUND TO THIS ONE
Plain and boring. I didn’t do anything special to prepare them before painting.
I just wiped them down and fixed any loose wicker.
I used Zinsser spray primer…so easy!!
You could roll on primer…but why?? This is so much easier.
Cheap glossy black spray paint. It took anywhere between 4 to 5 cans for each chair.
It really soaked in the paint. Using a spray can handle makes the job easier and cleaner. I paid less than $3.00 for mine at Wal-Mart.
I love the black. I only managed to paint the 2 chairs and small table.
I never got around to doing the loveseat that goes with it.
And here it is at the day of the party at the make shift table. You can read that post HERE.
