Upcycling a badminton racket into wall decoration using Marabu GREEN alkyd paint

How it is done:

• First, remove any rubber grips and sand down the wooden part of the mallets to remove most of the varnish and paint.
• The wooden parts can be painted with Marabu GREEN alkyd paint, including the bats. Apply a second coat of paint after the first one has dried to achieve an opaque result.
• The bats can now be painted with patterns using a thinner brush in a contrasting color.
• To create the mirror version, apply hot glue to the back of a 15 cm round mirror and attach it to the strings. Photos and pictures can be stretched between the strings or attached with small clips.
