She rolled up her sleeves and ordered herself a stencil, and grabbed some masonry paint, with the whole project costing 50.<\/p>\n
Chloe bought a tin of black and white paint and mixed it up to make her own shade of grey, which she painted on top of a plain white base.<\/p>\n
She finished the whole thing by sealing it, confirming she didnt fill in the cracks first - just painted over them.<\/p>\n
Chloe shared her handiwork to Facebook group Gardening On A Budget Official, where more than 3,000 people have admired her efforts.<\/p>\n
She wrote: Ugly patio to lovely patio in 50 and 15 hours painting.<\/p>\n
Not to everybody's taste but I love it.<\/p>\n
Its just white masonry paint base then black and white masonry paint mixed together to make a dark grey for the stencil.<\/p>\n
The stencil is from dizzy ducks. I sealed it after with Johnsons water seal and no I didnt fill the cracks first.<\/p>\n
