Screen play

Transform a simple square of cardboard into a funky bedroom screen with a little bit of help from Resene.

Screen play - instruction sheet

Resene kids art with Mark Rayner - Project 62

Difficulty level: Moderate

You will need: Old CD, Paintbrushes (including a large flat artists’ brush), Pencil, Piece of cardboard (ours measured approximately 900mm x 900mm), Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat, Resene Testpots of Resene Cabaret, Resene Geronimo (x2) and Resene Illusion, Wide sticky tape or parcel tape

Top tip: Scoring a straight line down the piece of cardboard with the back of a pair of scissors will help to make a neat fold.

Here's another idea: Try this cool combination of colour – here the spots were painted with Resene Grenadier and Resene Turbo over a background of Resene Optimist.

Screen play

Another idea: Green and orange

Step one
Fold the piece of cardboard into three equal sections, as shown.

Step two
Place a piece of sticky tape along the outer edge of each fold, carefully pressing down.

Step three
Paint the screen with one coat of Resene Quick Dry and allow to dry for two hours.

Step four
Paint the screen with two coats of Resene Geronimo, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step five
Use the pencil to draw around the CD, creating a pattern of circles over the screen.

Step six
Using the flat artists' brush, paint the circles with two coats of Resene Cabaret and Resene Illusion. Allow two hours for each coat to dry, and then stand your screen upright. Awesome!
