Can you paint bamboo blinds.
It looks great at night but you can see that the sunlight breaks up the black stripes during the day because it is a bamboo shade after all.
Step 1 prepare the bamboo.
I did attach a white liner to the back with spray adhesive which helps a little.
Secure your woven section with this technique.
Paint one side of each slat with with acrylic based enamel paint using a paintbrush.
Cut a 19 x 14 section out of your bamboo blinds to make an easy diy placemat.
But i have always dreaded the mess smell and preparation.
Use what you have on hand.

Apply paint on the edges and then set each.
It s not a difficult job even for those without any genuine artistic talent.
Via style at home.
That s not an obstacle to painting the piece but you want to clean it thoroughly first because penetrating oils tend to pick up dirt.
I want to show you how.
All these years i have stayed away from painting for these reasons and many more such as lack of knowledge space constraints difficulties of painting with a toddler at home and even the impatience of having to let dry between coats.
Use the existing weave of the shade to keep the placemat together.
It doesn t really bother me but i wanted to give you a heads up if you plan on doing a similar project.
There are several different options for painting and not all of them need a paintbrush.
So quick and easy.
Painting bamboo blinds painting is a task i love.
Bamboo isn t as porous as wood but penetrating oils still soak in and if you have a newish piece of bamboo furniture it may have a coat of tung or linseed oil.
You can paint bamboo blinds to customize them into the existing theme of your home.
And then spray until the brown is gone.
Bamboo blinds always look great.
This type of paint will hold up well over time and is easy to clean.
