How To Spray Paint Storage Bins

Start the organizing process with the same style of bins. I chose white containers that fit inside a cube storage shelf I already had. I wanted to add a portion of color to the bottom of each bin to show what color would be stored inside.

  • Painters Tape
  • Spray Paint

Instructions

  • 1. Prep bins - make sure they are clean and sticker free. If needed, wipe with Krud Kutter (my favorite de-sticker).
  • 2. Tape the bins. Every bin had a few inches of paint area and was taped off with painters tape.
  • 3. Cover the areas you don't want painted. I did a really wide painters tape, added a garbage bag over the top, and taped that on top of the tape. This was mostly to keep the spray from splattering where I didn't want it.
  • 4. Spray the paint!
  • 5. Remove tape and paint.
  • 6. Fill the bins with all the pretty colored supplies you have!
