Does your closet not at all fit in to the theme of your room? Are you thinking of selling off your cupboard just because it does not suit your room? Think again. Cause here I am to help you out :)
So ,Now that you have decided to make your closet door look a little different then you can start off by deciding whether you want to paint your closet or just use some cloth to cover it up , paint a design or just want the whole closet the same colour.If you want to cover it up with cloth you can just get the cloth and stick the edges of the cloth to the top most inner part of the closet door. to prevent it from flying off stick even the below edges of the cloth and here your done here :D
If your just painting your whole closet doors then you may want to cover all the doorknobs and other hard wares (here too either take them out by loosening the hinges or just tape them out and try not to get the paint over there.) And even select the colour you would be painting the closet in before hand and make sure you have plenty amount of it to last for your whole closet.You should take a thick brush and make gentle stokes downwards. Let it dry for some time then you can add another coat of paint if you like or you can even put on some tape and make different design of that too. Like stripes or zig-zag or something and Ta-Da you'll have your masterpiece ready!
Next , in case you have decided to make a design on the door of a closet then you need to practise the design you have chosen several times on paper before carrying forward.This is the design I chose for my cupboard. If you want you can use this one for yours too.
When you are happy with the flow of design then you can go further Leave a little space where you need to , In case you do not wanna cover some writting or something just make sure you leave the space in your drawing too.I decided i will make a black outline of the design and then touch it up with a little colour on the final painting therefore I did the same on my drawing.
If your doing a design then you should decide the colour you want of your design you can even keep it black but I always like a splash of colour the choice is yours.Make sure you have the same paints of the colours you use in the drawings. If not you can always search the web about how to create different paints from the basic ones. (Psst it feels like brewing a potion *A little extra and the it is destroyed* ).This is the final colours I choose after making sure I had all the "ingredients" I needed to make the the perfect "potion"

Before starting to draw on your surface make sure you have your surface clean.give it a gentle swipe with water and some soap now take a dry towel or a cloth and make sure that the surface is dry and not watery before you start drawing.
Then comes the Main job! Painting!! Now be sure you have a lot off painting skill before going forth and directly painting on to the surface without any guidance but if your like me who just wakes up in the middle of the night feeling an urge to paint then maybe you should first just try out your hand at drawing at the closet. Take a pencil and try and make the design you decided on the door you want to paint . Its okay even if your drawing goes wrong you can always use an eraser to be clean. So when your happy with your design on the closet you can take out those paints and start getting messy! This is the way I had my design on my closet door.
So now everything is ready? Right! Lets get painting! if you want to out line the drawing first with black like i did then you gotta paint the whole design black first and then add some colours to it. You can even skip the black part and just make the whole thing colourful (I was gonna do that but this way it looks a lot better).Its okay if you make a few mistakes because you can either wipe it off with some water and a cloth or just add colour to that place.So here is how my black design looked like.
Now you can either just leave the design like this or add some colours. Its totally up to you. Once our done with the main part just need to go on to the fun part.Take your paints and either fill in colour. Do not make you paints before starting because they will dry out. So it will take some time too fill in colour but here is my final look. Hope you like it.
Pretty right? Do tell me if you liked this or not and if you would like to see more DIYs or tutorials.I ll be more than happy to get them to you.Okay then meet you on Tuesday :) Byee!
