I did attach a white liner to the back with spray adhesive which helps a little.
Can you paint bamboo blinds.
But i have always dreaded the mess smell and preparation.
This is our breakfast room.
We just replaced the hardwood floors.
Bamboo blinds always look great.
I want to show you how.
It s not a difficult job even for those without any genuine artistic talent.
In the next picture the left side has 2 coats and the right side only one.
So quick and easy.
Bamboo isn t as porous as wood but penetrating oils still soak in and if you have a newish piece of bamboo furniture it may have a coat of tung or linseed oil.
Use the existing weave of the shade to keep the placemat together.

We just painted these mini blinds.
Use what you have on hand.
That s not an obstacle to painting the piece but you want to clean it thoroughly first because penetrating oils tend to pick up dirt.
Apply paint on the edges and then set each.
It doesn t really bother me but i wanted to give you a heads up if you plan on doing a similar project.
Step 1 prepare the bamboo.
Painting bamboo blinds painting is a task i love.
We painted the trim all in sw alabaster one of my 50 favorite colors.
All these years i have stayed away from painting for these reasons and many more such as lack of knowledge space constraints difficulties of painting with a toddler at home and even the impatience of having to let dry between coats.
You can paint bamboo blinds to customize them into the existing theme of your home.
This type of paint will hold up well over time and is easy to clean.
It looks great at night but you can see that the sunlight breaks up the black stripes during the day because it is a bamboo shade after all.
Paint one side of each slat with with acrylic based enamel paint using a paintbrush.
And then spray until the brown is gone.
Secure your woven section with this technique.
Cut a 19 x 14 section out of your bamboo blinds to make an easy diy placemat.
There are several different options for painting and not all of them need a paintbrush.
You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds.
