Painting three ways - projects from Woman's Day magazine
Organise your home with these clever and colourful ideas from Emily Somerville-Ryan.
What you’ll need:

Instructions:
Liven up and organise your home in a fun and stylish way by introducing these quirky noticeboard ideas into your life. Clear up the clutter and add a punch of colour at the same time. Paint a large 18x24 inch canvas with two coats of Resene Cutty Sark. Collect up an assortment of wooden pegs in a number of sizes and paint one edge of each with two coats of either Resene Half Kumutoto, Resene Buttercup or Resene Cabaret. Tie three long pieces of string around the canvas at different heights and knot at the back of the board. Tighten and fasten the string into position with a drawing pin on either end of each string to the back frame of the board. Clip your favourite photos, cards, calendars and to-do lists onto the strings with the pegs and display in your kitchen, living room or home office for a fun alternative to art.

Collect up 9 round cork trivets and paint 6 with two coats of Resene paint. I have used Resene Cabaret, Resene Half Kumutoto, Resene Buttercup and Resene Laurel. Once dry, fix them to your wall in a 3 by 3 formation using velcro strips. Finally, pin up all your favourite photos and mementos to inspire your work vibe.

Paint 6 discarded clip boards with two coats of Resene paint. I have used Resene Laurel, Resene Half Kumutoto, Resene Cabaret, Resene Cutty Sark, Resene Waterloo and Resene Buttercup for my boards.
