I am happy with my storage unit I created out of the shelves and ladders which holds all of my chalk paints and paint supplies, but I still have all my craft paints to store.

I looked through Pinterest like I normally do for ideas. I saw many ways to store paints, the one caught my eye was from Jennifer over at Jennifermaker.com. Her PVC pipe wallflower is what I want in my craft room. I love the size of Jennifer’s craft room, since my room isn’t as large I am going to make my flower a little smaller. I ordered the items online at Lowes.com. My items came the very next day.

This would be great for a craft room, school room for parents that home school or even a class room. It’s a great piece to have in any room to hold paints.
Here is my version of Jennifer’s wall flower.
I measured and marked my PVC pipe 3 inches. I had 8 even pieces. Mr. Tip had a friend cut my pipe for me.
I placed all the pieces around the collar. I used 7 of my pieces. I could of cut the pieces a little deeper than 3 inches if I knew I only needed 7 pieces.
I marked where the rings touched.
Where I placed the mark I measured on the outside of my pipe to find the center. Mark and drilled a hole. I did this to each side where I marked on the 7 rings.
Using a bolt and nut I connected the rings all together.
Adding the collar to the center of my rings. To connect the rings to the collar I drilled two top holes and two bottom holes into both the collar and ring.
I spray painted my two pieces. Taking them outside and giving them two coats. I am using Rust-oleum UltraCover Lime Green for the center and Brilliant Blue for the outer part.
Once they dried I attached the collar to the PVC flower with bolts and nuts. I bent down the little petal like part of the duct collar
To hang my flower on the wall I used a picture hanger.
Placed it above my paint storage unit on the wall. I used a 50 pound picture hanger. It will be hidden once I place the paints inside.
I separated all my paints in colors.
Added all my paints to the flower.
I love how my wall looks and the amount of storage I have just for my painting supplies.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
I truly appreciate you coming over to find my blog. I know you are going to love having something like this for your paint. I just love all the storage and organization I get from mine. And look how cute it is up on the wall? I am so happy we met. Thank you!!!!
This is such a great idea! I love when everything has its place, and this is just marvellous for keeping all those paints in sight and easy to reach. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Katerina. I am loving having one area for my paint supplies. Creating a craft room gives me the option to make it exactly how I need it. I am loving it so far!
Clever! Love the colors you chose. The Urban Farmer is a retired sheet metal worker and of course knew exactly what the duct collar is. You keep coming up with great ideas!
I just love greens and blues together, so fun! I would love to take credit of the paint storage but Jennifer over at Jennifermaker.com is where I found the inspiration. I just downsized mine. Thanks Donna!
This is brilliant! It doesn’t take up a huge amount of space and is perfect for organizing craft paint. It also is pretty!! Pinning to my craft board 😊
