Christmas is a time to get crafty. Whether you’re making your own decorations or simply wish to breathe new life into tried old items, Rust-Oleum has everything you need to get inspired and ensure a top quality finish.
We have a very large selection of colours including metallics to fit with the festive theme. We chose to celebrate Christmas in a traditional and timeless style with hues of red and metallic gold and silver.
The Rust-Oleum webpage www.rustoleumspraypaint.com is filled with inspiring craft ideas and here are some of our favourites:

What you will need
- Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint or Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Craft Enamel in your chosen colour

- Newspaper/ dust sheets
- Sandpaper
How to bling your candlesticks
1. Move the object(s) to be painted to a well-ventilated area and place on top of newspaper or a dust sheet. Protect the surrounding area with additional dust sheets or newspaper.
2. Ensure surfaces to be painted are free from loose paint, rust, wax, oil and grease. Previously painted surfaces should be sanded to remove excess paint. Bare wood and metal should be primed with Rust-Oleum Surface Primer following the instructions on the tin
3. Using your selected Rust-Oleum product, hold the can approximately 30cm from the surface of the object(s) and spray in a steady back and forth motion, slightly overlapping with each stroke. For best results, whilst spraying keep the can the same distance from the surface and keep the can in motion. Apply several light coats a few minutes apart.
