Creative furniture painting and DIY projects - Sound familiar? Do you also follow skilled creators and admire their products?

Making DIY projects is not only fun and rewarding, but it can also be a great way to reset your mind and cope better with everyday life.

In fact, using colors, painting and being creative can be great ways to improve mental well-being.

As with all painters and do-it-yourselfers; in the beginning you practice and you become a master by practicing - practice makes a monster! However, you can get a head start by reading our instructions and using the beautifully leveling Frenchic paint.

Why start DIY projects and furniture painting?

There are many reasons why people start painting and making DIY projects from furniture, mirror frames, bookshelves, children's beds, chairs, chests of drawers, kitchen food groups...

- You have a beloved piece of furniture that already looks a little tired and needs color.

- You want to try new interesting techniques and have a bit of a challenge to do.

- You want to bring the coolest and unique piece of furniture that you have been planning in your mind for years into your home to brighten up your everyday life. By combining several pieces of furniture and their parts and painting the whole as a whole - certainly unique and suitable 'custom furniture'.

- You want to recycle and save something old and make it practical again and take it back into everyday use.

- Maybe you've even thought about a small side business!

Whatever your motivation may be, getting started can feel a little overwhelming. Fortunately, you can just jump in and let your creativity run wild!

Almost everything can be painted, recycled and tinned. Do you have a bigger project in mind? For example, combining Ikea-type furniture and painting it as a media wall, or as a large storage unit in the kitchen or bedroom?

Unique furniture is a particularly inspiring starting point. When you really think about it, anything can become a statement piece for your home.

Wood is also easy to work with and is well suited for renovation, construction and renovation projects.

Accessories: Brown Frenchic wax, wax brush and Creme de la Creme shade & paint brush

Want a lighter start?

If you haven't done a lot of DIY projects, don't worry.

You can achieve great results using just masking tape and paint.

For example: use tape to border a stripe or a square - or both.

Use of metallic tones: You can mix Frensheen metallic colors and Finishing Coat to get a beautiful metallic tone on old pieces of furniture.

Or realize artistic and creative freedom?

What if you're not artistically gifted?

Transfer images

Don't worry if your painting skills aren't top-notch. You can still be creative! For example, use easy-to-use transfer images after painting. They are an easy and quick way to add splendor and beauty - detailed patterns to furniture.

You can find more wonderful implementations of all these techniques by our customers in the FB group and on our Instagram account.
