The holidays are right around the corner, and Rust-Oleum makes it simple to customize your mantel with special spray paint colors and finishes.
It’s easy to deck out your mantel this holiday season with everyday items you can find right in your home. Just add spray paint to them in a festive color or finish to make your fireplace mantel an attention grabber at your next holiday gathering.
How to Create a Festive Holiday Candlesticks
To show you just how easy it is to create, here’s how we transformed some old thrift store candlesticks in to festive mantel decorations.
Materials
- Candlesticks (various shapes and sizes)
- Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover Primer
- Universal Metallic Champagne Mist
- Universal Metallic Pure Gold
- Stops Rust Metallic Gold Rush
- Stops Rust Metallic Rose Gold
- Specialty Gold Mirror Effect
- Comfort Grip (optional)
- Mask
- Drop Cloth
- Gloves
Step 1: Drop cloth
The first step for any project is to locate a well ventilated space for completing your project. The best place to work in is the yard or garage (with the garage door open). Once you find the space you are going to work in, simply spread out your drop cloth and get started!
Step 2: Prime
Next, apply a good quality primer, like Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover Primer. Priming forms a tight bond to surfaces so your topcoat goes on smoother and lasts even longer. Simply shake the can for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
Then apply the primer, holding the can 10-16 in. from your project in a steady back-and-forth motion. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid drips and runs. The primer is ready to be top coated within one hour of drying.
Tip: We recommend sanding the item lightly before you begin priming for optimal adhesion and to ensure any loose paint or debris is removed.
Step 3: Paint
Next, shake your can of Stops Rust Metallic Rose Gold for one minute after the mixing ball starts to rattle. Hold the can 10-16 in. away from the surface of the candlestick and spray using the same technique you used to prime. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart.
Your holiday candlestick will be dry to the touch in 30 minutes and fully dry within 24 hours.
