Painting Your Shower Curtain
For your
own unique spin on decorative shower curtains
you can opt to give yours a paint job.
There are hundreds
of shower curtain options, both vinyl and
fabric. There are some color combinations, like
purple and orange, and some themes, such as
toes, that aren’t common in the decorating
world. For this reason, you may find you need to
create your own design on your shower curtain.
If fabric makes you nervous or you like the
ability to bleach away mold, mildew and germs,
you need a vinyl shower curtain.
Spray Paint Method
The spray paint method is best for abstract or
geometric designs rather than realistic
pictures.
- Start with a
white, clear or accent color vinyl curtain
- Pick up a few
cans of Krylon Plastic spray paint in the
colors you will need for your design.
- Gather
supplies like newspaper or tarp, masking
tape, permanent markers.
- Wash your
curtain in very hot water, then dry flat. If
wrinkles remain, place in clothes dryer for
three to five minutes, then lay flat.
- In a
ventilated space large enough to spread your
shower curtain flat, lay out newspaper or
tarp to protect ground or floor.
- Lay our shower
curtain out on the tarp or newspaper, tape
down in the corners and in a few spots along
each side.
- Tape off the
design you need for the first paint color.
- Shake spray
paint can until bead is audible.
- Spray all
areas your first color should appear.
- Remove tape,
let dry for about 20 minutes.

spraying, drying process as many times as
needed for desired effect.
Latex Paint
Method
