Best Toilet Seat Cover | Decorative Toilet Seats

Yes, you can learn how to hand paint your own toilet seat cover even if you don't know how to paint that well. How do you do this? First, you need to buy a Donna Dewberry painting book. She teaches an easy painting stroke called One Stroke Painting that anyone can learn. Once you master this One Stroke technique, you can pretty much paint anything. However, painting one of her fabulous designs out of one of her many books, might be your best bet in the beginning. She has tons of books out on how to paint flowers, garden decor, furniture, murals, and much more. You can use any of her designs to paint on your toilet seat. The most important thing is to prepare the toilet seat first so it accepts the paint.

First, you should prime the toilet lid with FLAT white paint (or Gesso. Gesso is a crafting product that you can purchase in any craft store. Its purpose is to create a base that will hold paint (usually acrylic), mainly on ceramic or gloss-finished bases). Then, sketch out your design with pencil, and paint your design using acrylic paints. It's important to use several thin coats instead of using one or two thick ones. Let the seat dry overnight. Coat with several layers of clear indoor/outdoor varnish. When cleaning it, don't use abrasive cleansers, just clean with a damp cloth.
