Did you know that bricks are only 50 cents at the home improvement store? Time to clean up my bookshelf!!
Materials:
Bricks
White and gold spray paint
Painter’s tape
Directions:
To cover the dull gray of the bricks, I started with a layer of white spray paint. If you use a paint and primer mix, one coat will be sufficient. Otherwise, you’ll want to do two layers of white.
Once the first layer of paint is dry, make a triangle using painter’s tape. Then add a layer of gold spray paint to create the geometric pattern. You can create any shape, try chevron, stripes, or squares.
I wanted another pop of color and so I wrapped my books in varying blue shades of scrapbook paper.
If I get bored of the metallic and geometric trend by next spring, I can easily spray paint over and create a new design. Maybe by next year my husband won’t mind me wrapping the books in hot pink scrapbook paper?
