I have been looking forward to this blog post all week! Recently, Valspar paint contacted me and asked me to do a product review on their new spray paint formula and can design - of course I agreed because I have always had good luck with Valspar paint.
I also had a few spray paint projects in mind like art work for my laundry room...
Laundry Room Art Using Valspar Spray Paint
My laundry room was pretty bare and since we were adding new storage cupboards I figured this would be a great time to do a little extra decorating. Here is what I came up with!
[Supplies]
Valspar spray paint (Lowe's)
11 x 14 Canvases (Hobby Lobby)
Letter stencils
Spray Adhesive
[Step 1] Make your stencils
I used my Cricut and the Don Juan and Lyrical Letters cartridges to create my stencils. If you don't have a Cricut you can make stencils using fonts in Microsoft Word and printing your text on heavy cardstock, then cut out the letters with an exact-o knife.
[Step 2] Position Your Words
Take time to position your words on the canvases to decide where you want them. Once you have that figured out, use spray adhesive to hold them in place on the canvas. All you need to do is lightly spray the adhesive on the back of each letter and let it dry for about 30 seconds then re-position them on your canvas.
[Step 3] Spray Away!
This is the fun part! I used Valspar spray paint in Tropical Oasis. I did two coats of spray paint. The first coat was a very light coat of paint that I let dry for about 5 minutes. Then I came back and finished up with one more coat. The coverage was so even and consistant that's all the paint it took!

Ta Da! Here is the final product!
I have to say, the Valspar paint I used was awesome! The coverage was very even and the continuous spray was definitely a plus. Not to mention, clean-up was a "piece of cake" too! All I needed to do was twist and lock the cap and clean-up was done - no drips to clean up or anything.
I had so much fun painting those canvases that I also painted a grapvine wreath using Valspar spray paint in Exotic Sea. The coverage was still consistant and got into all of the cracks and crevaces that a wreath has without any trouble!
