Decorating Solution #1

Here's a great tip for decorating...

Take: an old washing up bowl or plastic box,
a bit of pipe insulation (if you're anything like us, there's always some lurking about in the tool box!)
and a bit of duct tape, 

And create this marvellous contraption! 
All you need to do is make a slit along the length on one side of your pipe insulation, hook it over the edge of your washing up bowl or plastic box and tape in place. 
Once you've taped it in place make cuts on the inside edge, being careful if you're using a stanley knife. 
And there you have it - a handy paintbrush holder! 

You can either fill the box with the paint you're using or just some warm water for cleaning.
A great solution for dripping paint brushes and filler spatulas.

Filling Nail Holes
