Step 1: Spray the cans
To ensure the colors shine through later and all cans look uniform, you should first spray them white. Use an Edding Permanent Spray in traffic white for this. It's best to do this outdoors to avoid spray mist and odors. Hold the cans a bit away from you and apply the paint thinly. Let the layer dry well and repeat if necessary. Don't forget to spray the insides. Ensure no paint drips form.
Step 2: Painting the cans colorfully
Once the primer has dried, the creative part begins: painting the cans. You can choose the colors entirely according to your taste or opt for a harmonious color scheme. Use the ridges of the cans as a guide for stripe patterns. The smooth surfaces of the cans require you to apply two paint layers. Allow the first layer to dry completely before applying the next to avoid color bleeding.
Step 3: Assembling the cutlery holder
Once the cans are dry and colorful, you can glue them together into a cutlery holder using hot glue. First, glue two cans together, and then connect the pairs obtained. Make sure to apply the glue generously to hold everything in place. However, be careful with your fingers, as the metal retains the heat from the glue for a while.
