Have you ever seen<br />
a beautiful picture<br />
and wished you could<br />
display it on a door,<br />
fridge or otherwise?<br />
Developments in the hobby and<br />
art industry now make it possible<br />
to jazz up your fridge and/or<br />
cupboard doors, as well as other<br />
surfaces, with visuals that uplift<br />
your mood and make you smile<br />
with delight.<br />
This process is called waterslides,<br />
and November is the<br />
perfect month to start with the<br />
renovation of different surfaces<br />
in your house making use of this<br />
technique.<br />
Be mindful to apply it to smooth,<br />
non-porous surfaces only.<br />
Untreated surfaces will absorb<br />
the glue that is used, impairing<br />
the longevity of your picture.<br />
Shopping list<br />
• Chalk paint<br />
• Water-slide picture(s) - these can<br />
be bought from an art shop or<br />
Concrete and Garden Creations<br />
just outside Mbombela on the<br />
Barberton Road<br />
• A serving tray large and deep<br />
enough to accommodate the size<br />
of your picture<br />
• The object you wish to use<br />
• Paintbrushes<br />
• La Lacquer sealer<br />
• Water.<br />
We used an old cupboard door<br />
for this project.<br />
