Paint Storage With Paint Sticks!
by

I really needed some better storage for paints besides a shoe box. When I was working on the monogram succulent with the paint sticks, I happened to try a paint bottle in the opening and it fit nice and snug.
This is what I did. I used 3 of the thicker, longer paint sticks for this project. I cut the 3 sticks the same size. I used wood glue to glue the pieces together. I waited till the next day, then used a stapler to insure the sides would stay put. I sanded them really good, just to get them smooth.
I then added 2 coats of chalk paint in a gloss color, lightly sanding in between. I then screwed them into a stud. I ended up making two more shelves.....painted them white.
Now I have lots of 'free'storage.......now I have to fill it up!!!Check out my other projects at: https://kelleysdiy.com/

Sandra K Salisbury on Mar 31, 2016Really clever use of paint sticks. The shelves will be great for those odd-sized bottles that show up occasionally. Years ago I used some to make a shadow-box like frame for a small collection of white porcelain dogs.
