Difficulty level: Easy

You will need: Clean cloth, galvanised watering can, paint stirrer, paintbrush, potted colour (we used white chrysanthemums), Resene Galvo-Prime, Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Spritzer, sandpaper.

To get the look: Mark painted the background summerhouse wall with Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Soft Apple.

Apply one coat of Resene Galvo-Prime to the outside of the watering can and allow to dry.

Step five
Carefully stir the Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Spritzer.

Step six
Apply one coat of Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Spritzer to the outside of the watering can and allow to dry.
