FlowerBoxes: Decorating and Personalizing

Flower box has a big contribution when we talk about home improvement. It should also be part of our maintenance at home and it should stay beautiful all year round. We can improvise our boxes as not to look outdated. By doing so, I can give some ideas on how we can decorate and personalize our flower boxes at home.

Gather the things that we need - To improvise our flower box, we need to gather the materials and tools necessary to decorate and personalize our boxes.

1. Paint, paint brushes and paint trays are the most important items we need to redesign our window flower boxes. We can choose the paint of choice that matches the theme of our home.

2. Flowering plants have the most important role when decorating our flowerboxes. We can check out our local florist to ask for some suggestions that go with our flower plant boxes. It would be better to ask for the experts suggestions.

3. We also need a hose and a brush to clean the flower box.

The tools mentioned above are the basic things that we need to start our flowerbox reconstruction. We may add other things like flower stencils to create some cool stuff that we can insert to improvise our container box.

Clean the box. Preparation of our boxes would need clearing and removing of some dirt. Use the hose and brush to wash and remove the dirt and wait for it to dry out. It would be better to have a flower box free from flakes or dusts to have a manageable and easy painting work.

Coat it with paint. Paint the flower boxes white. This light color will make the designs on the boxes and the flowers to really stand out. You may need to apply two coats and make sure that you apply the paint in thin, even layers and let it dry in between coats. You may need to allow as long as an hour to let the paint dry.

Set up your colored paints. Adding different colors would give variety to your flowerbox. We can add red, blue, green and yellow to make it more attractive. Pour a little bit of colored paint into each paint tray. Each tray should have its own color and its own sponge.

Add more designs. Personalizing would mean attach some desirable designs to make the window box substantial. Use the stencils, sponges and paints to make flower designs on your flower window boxes. You will hold the stencils in place and gently sponge the different colors onto the stenciled designs. This will enable you to make and replicate pretty flower designs. Do not sponge on a lot of paint at once. If the stencil is small and you are going to use it multiple times, wipe it clean after each use so that the paint does not get muddy and brown.

Protect the boxes. Allow the boxes to dry. This may take as long as 2 hours. If you wish, you can spray them with a sealant to protect your designs from the weather. This will make your boxes long lasting and durable.

All the above mentioned thoughts are only suggestions that would give us some ideas on how we can create a pleasant and personalized window box. It might be a lot of work but it is priceless after everything is done. Why not check out your window boxes and see some revisions that you can do to make it personalized and appealing.
