We love DIY and hobbies at Hochanda! Why not start
a project or finish one that you have been meaning to complete? Here are a
series of possible ideas to get you started.
Upcycle That
Are
you the type of person who hates to throw anything away? If so, why not turn
your unwanted items into gorgeous DIY projects. You could customise and upcycle
a piece of your furniture using our fantastic chalk paints that come in a wide variety of colours. Upcycling will
not only revamp your decor but you will also be helping the environment by
reducing our footprint. Two birds with one stone!
Woodworking
Why
not create a woodwork masterpiece? With just a piece of wood you
could transform your living space. The possibilities for what you can craft are
endless from cabinets and chests to chairs and benches to a new desk. To get
you started why not take a look at our Oak Workbench. Whatever your abilities, this bench will give you the
perfect anchorage point for your craft providing an excellent work area and
away from the dining table. Happy woodworking!
Painting
Give
your home a little TLC with a fresh coat of paint. Painting a room is an easy,
inexpensive DIY project and anyone can do it. With just a lick of paint you
could totally transform your kitchen, dining room or even bedroom. Don’t have
the tools? We’re here to help, why not take a look at our 5 piece paint runner toughiekit, ideal to get you started. One top
tip - if you need to stop and take a break for a little while, put your brush
in a sandwich bag and stick it in the freezer to slow the drying process! This
works for rollers too.
Fix It!
Why
not fix that one thing you have been meaning to for the last year. Use this
Sunday as a day to repair absolutely anything using our Bondic liquid plastic. It’s not a glue but with Bondic you can do almost
anything from repairing a pair of broken glasses, to fixing a loose cable of your phone charger to
repairing a cracked mug handle. Gone are the problems of superglue!
