3. Jewelry Box Painting

Do you have an old jewelry box that you are no longer in love with? Try out this painting project! Although this one does require you to sand down that old paint off your box. This means you have to buy a small roll of sandpaper before you can start your painting, the results of this project are well worth it. Paint a design that is personal to you. And for that extra shine, add a paint finisher to give it that glossy new look that  you’ll love.  

This project is perfect to give as a gift or keep for yourself.

4. Painting Vases

Do you have some old pots laying around your house with some house plants? Do you want to liven up their look to better your living space? No problem! Clay is a fast and easy surface to paint that is perfect for updating the style of your dorm room while also curing your boredom. You can paint vases and pots of any kind either with one full blank color or intricate designs. I do recommend painting it one solid color and letting it dry before adding any other special designs. This will make sure there are no holes in your beautiful artwork. Cure your boredom this year with this great painting idea! 

This is a great way to change the feel of your space.

5. Painting Lamps

Do you have a lamp that you are simply tired of looking at? Did you buy it your first year of college and now find yourself shaking your head at the boring or bland designs that no longer reflect who you are? Try this painting project out! This one does require you to sand down the surface again. And you will want to get a finisher or polish to create that sign. Sand down that old surface and paint to your heart’s desire. Let it dry before adding that finisher, give yourself a brand new lamp with half the cost! 

This is a fun cute way to liven up your look.

6. Painting Phone Cases

This painting project is for those who are sick and tired of their phone cases and really want to update their look. Have a lot of nail polish laying around? Perfect! This is a great fast and easy painting project that will leave your phone case stunning. Take your nail polish of various colors and carefully paint a cute design. When you’re finished, add a clear coat over it and you are left with that perfect new phone case and shine that will turn heads!

Do you have some old tired furniture laying around your dorm that you are not proud to look at? No problem! This painting project is perfect for livening up the look of that tired old wood.

And you’re left with something gorgeous and a great conversation starter.
