Lighter evenings mean that there’s no excuse not to dig out that old paintsplattered shirt and crack open a tin of paint to cover, well, anything and everything. Here, Juliet Bawden and Amanda Russell have a few ideas to whet your appetite. Put your stamp on a preloved deckchair and give it a dazzling new colour and an embellished seat to match – your neighbours are sure to be impressed. Or update a room with a fun Matisseinspired wall canvas made from fabric scraps. Hands up if you remember Meccano? We thought so. Why not rummage in the loft and put an old box of pieces to use and make a quirky lamp with a funky bulb and flex?
