Clear Accent Card. Use clear scrapbooking embellishments to add quick detail to a card. Die-cut flowers from a transparency, then adhere small colorful circles to the end of each petal. Attach a fabric scrap to the center to easily express your sentiment.
Recycle empty paint cans with other metals. If dried paint fills a can to a depth of about a half inch or less, dry it in the can and recycle the paint can. If you have a more-or-less full can of dried latex paint, unfortunately, the next step is to remove the lid and toss the whole can in with the trash. We agree.
Scraping. The easiest way to remove old paint, if it is already loosened, peeling or chipped, is with a putty knife, plastic scraper or an oscillating tool with rigid scraper blade. Simply work the flat edge of the tool across the surface of the wall to remove loosened pieces of paint.imply scraping will remove the majority of loosened paint; small areas can be taken care of with fine-grit sandpaper fitted to a rotary or oscillating tool. Use only the flat edge of the scraper, or you could gouge the surface; if you do, fill in the damaged areas with joint compound.
