Do you have any tips for decorating these shapes?

There are so many different ways that you can decorate these fabulous shapes, and the only limit is your imagination. They would look great painted in a colour that would complement your home decor, or you could add a distressed look for that proper rustic feel. We recommend using acrylics or poster paint for the most effective coverage, and two coats would be preferred. It is important to ensure that your paint has dried fully before you begin decorating.

Always ensure that your surface is clean and dry before you begin painting, and store away from any heat sources or out of direct sunlight. Cover with fabric for a softer touch, with a ton of stunning patterned fabrics available at Spotlight. Use a craft glue, such as PVA glue, or a hot glue gun to affix your fabric in place, and you could even finish it off with some cute embellishments. Alternatively, use these fabulous shapes as a base for your decoupage project. Add pictures, photographs and stunning printed paper for a beautiful decorative piece that is sure to make the right impression. You could even use sheet music for an extra special touch that would be ideal for someone who loves music. Children will love decorating these shapes, and this messy craft is a great way to keep them entertained for hours. Shop our fabulous range of children's glitter, glue, sequins, pom poms and other embellishments and encourage them to get crafty.
