30 Ideas for Wood Slice Painting and Crafts
Painting wood slices for crafts, home decor, and gifts doesn’t necessarily need to use bright colors, glitter, or a lot of flares.

With Christmas and the festive season just around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about decorations. One of the things you will need for sure is a table runner to appeal to and welcome your guests.
The nicely painted wood slice table runner is a great idea to give your table a rustic look. You can paint the slices with Christmas-themed colors, patterns, or designs or leave them natural. Add delicious food and accessories to it, and your table will look fabulous.

Make an Accent Wall Painting Ideas
An accent wall, or a feature wall, is a wall whose paint colour differs from the rest of the room’s colour. If your leftover paint is of a brighter hue, you can paint one wall painting ideas in your living room with it to create an accent wall. You could also use textures to make your accent wall stand out while using the same room colour. Bringing a pop of colour to the room is sure to make the Christmas festivities come alive!
If you have tiny amounts of many different paint colours, you could consider getting a mural painted on one of your walls. This is a similar concept to that of an accent wall painting idea, except that you don’t have to paint the entire wall with one colour. This is especially helpful when you don’t have a large amount of one solid colour. This could even be a great pre-Christmas activity for you and your family to get those family-bonding juices flowing.
Colour Some Picture Frames Wall Painting Ideas
Buy wooden picture or photo frames of different sizes and colour them with the leftover paint colours that you have. Alternatively, if you have a non-white wall to hang the frames, paint the frames white and colour inside the frames with bright solid colours to give a colourful, festive look to your home.
Make your boring old furniture fresh and bold by giving them a fresh coat of paint. This works really well with wooden chairs, stools, and coffee tables, or kids’ room furniture. You can completely transform your study room to a more creative space simply by painting a few furniture pieces in bright colours.
Use a Stencil For Wall Painting Ideas
You can create amazing patterns and textures on your wall with stencils. Buy a stencil of your choice either at a local store or online. You can also create your own stencil, like one with colourful hearts in this video or this ethnic-looking stencil with blooming flowers, both inspired from the Nerolac Colour Trails. We have several stencil and other wall decor ideas for you in the Nerolac Paints India video series on YouTube.
Finally, use the leftover paint to fix or mask chipped portions of chair legs, door and window frames, or absolutely anywhere, as long as you have a colour that matches!
