31 Home Projects for This Spring That Cost Under $30

19. Stenciled Raindrop Bench

Transform a boring bench or even a wooden porch table with an adorable raindrop theme, just in time for spring. Design blog The 36th Avenue suggested painting the bench or table in your favorite acrylic or latex spring shade, such as a cheery green or sky blue.

Once the paint dries, place a large raindrop stencil on top of the project piece and tape it down with painter’s tape. You can make the stencil yourself by drawing designs on card stock and cutting out the raindrop shapes, or purchase a premade stencil from a site such as Handmade Charlotte. Dab white acrylic craft paint over the holes in the stencil, then remove the stencil and tape once the paint dries.

The total estimated cost for a stenciled raindrop bench is $15.32. Here’s what you’ll need:
One half-pint of latex paint: $9.25
Painter’s tape: $2.97
Acrylic craft paint: $3.10
