How to Spray Paint an Easel:

1. First pick your easel size. Mine is around 5" tall (so it's quite small). It's also shaped like a cutting board, which is darling! Tape off the section you do not want to paint. I wanted a diagonal paint line so you can see the part that isn't covered by painter's tape. Spray the easel with any color of spray paint you want. I used a fresh coral color.

2. To further decorate the easel, I added little acrylic letters from Tim Holtz. I used a clear glue that works really well at holding acrylic shapes. I used a Post-It Note stack to measure where the letters should fall.

You can see how darling this easel looks with a photo. This would make a great gift for Mom, grandma, a co-worker or friend and doesn't take much to create.

You could also use acrylic paint and letter stickers to achieve this same effect:
