During the Fall, I love to spend time outside in my backyard with friends and family. We enjoy sitting around the fire while the kids roast marshmallows.
The weather right now is perfect for enjoying our outdoor space so I decided to add a pop of color with Flex Seal before our next gathering.

This is the perfect time for you to add a pop of color to your space too because, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Flex Seal is offering a limited edition can of PINK Flex Seal.
For every can of PINK Flex Seal sold during the month of October, $1 will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
My outdoor space was gray and plain, not very welcoming. I added a pop of color with Flex Seal, which is great for both indoor and outdoor projects.
I wanted a bright noticeable difference throughout my space so I used a blue Flex Seal.
I left the bottom of our fire pit black and I think that really brings out the bright blue color. We never use the lid when burning so I wasn’t worried about a fire hazard but I strongly recommend not using a flammable product near an open flame.
I also added some color to the legs of the tables, a tray for drinks, and the top of a decorative bowl, giving it an ombre effect. I found that out mid-spray, it turns out that if you spray the top of a curved item it will hit all of the right places and leave a nice fade at the bottom.
Everything looked so dark and dreary before but after adding the color it really changed the look and feel of the whole space.
Another fun idea that I had mid-project, was spraying down my old brick path that leads to the gate. It was really faded and boring, practically screaming for a makeover.
I pulled the grass patches out, swept them off, and then added a much-needed coat of Flex seal.
I added some white hearts to random squares and hung up some old chargers on the fence. I sprayed black, white, and blue lines on them and added a heart. I really think that little touches like this make the space feel more welcoming.
To ensure you apply Flex Seal correctly follow the below steps:
1. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.
2. Shake well and spray using even sweeping motion.
3. Spray a larger area than area where the leak is and feather the edges
4. Let it dry completely (may take up to 24-48hrs to cure)
5.Apply several even coats until all the cracks and holes have been filled.
*For best results, apply several coats rather than one thick coat.
I can think of a million projects to use Flex Seal for and I want to hear your creative ideas,too! Enter below for your chance to win a grab bag of Flex Seal colors and be sure to comment with your creative ideas!

I have wanted to try the Flex Seal, but money is tight since being laid off. I live in a very old house with many problems. Would love the chance to try your product!
I have a utility sink in my basement that this would be great for. In white I would like to spray this around all of our windows to fill in all of the cracks that I missed when I caulked them. With so many colors the potential is limitless.
I have some old metal outdoor chairs that need to be repainted and this flex seal would likely do the trick.
I would love to use this for my basement.
What a creative way to liven up your patio with a pop of color and seal it in! My husband is remodeling the tree fort he built for our three children and Flex Seal would be perfect for the upgrade.
Occasionally I find moisture under our sinks and I worry it will damage the wood. It would be great to spray a coat of this on the cabinet floor under the sink to protect it from the moisture. I think it would also be great in the cupboards in place of contact paper. It looks like it would provide a slip resistant surface that also protects the cabinets from the moisture of accidentally putting away a wet cup or plate.
We read Mercy Watson Goes For a Ride and my kids and I loved it! Such a fun book…can’t wait to read more.
Oops, sorry. I was commenting about a book while reading about Flex Seal. I should stop multi-tasking. 🙂
I would love to try this product. I have a couple broken flower pots I could use flex seal on
Thats a great idea!
I would use it on kid toys, crafty outdoor projects.
I would love to use it on our porch swing! I think it would be so pretty and better than having to paint and/or seal it every year!
A porch swing would be fantastic, maybe I need to install one. I will tell my husband it’s for a DIY post. If it’s for work then I have to do it, right?
Aren’t you worried about using this on the mesh cover for the firepit? Is it fire-safe? I would think it would give off fumes when heated.
I would like to use this to cover an old, leaky birdbath I have.
Yes my husband had the same concern but we never use the lid when burning so since it is more of a decorative piece, I thought it should look pretty. Thanks for the heads up though. I think I will add a little more info so nobody gets the wrong idea. Good Luck!
I have an older style porch bench that needs to have new wood on it, it would be real cool to paint the metal ends a bright color!
That sounds like a fun project!
I would use flex seal on an old metal table we have that could use a pop of color.
That sounds like a great project!
I would love to try this product.
This would be fun to use to redo the cover on the back patio. There are spots that leak and it would also make it look a lot nicer.
That sounds like a great project!
You have NO IDEA how excited I am to try this product! I love DIY projects, and living in Massachusetts a lot of things we leave outside year round just get so worn, faded and junky looking! This would be perfect for sprucing up some of our outdoor furniture and pieces on my son’s playhouse!
I bet you are as excited as I was when I got to try it out. I love DIY projects too. I am always thinking of creative ways to decorate.
I really don’t have any great ideas what I would do with it, but I ‘m sure their is something around my house I could use it on
I am sure of it too, I can think of a million uses now and plan on trying it out again and again.
This would go great on my outdoor planter
It sure would!
I have all kinds of projects this would be great for!
It really is versatile, I have already started using it in other places too.
I would use Flex Seal on some outdoor plant hangers to add color to the backyard.
I like the idea of doing the hangers, that’s great!
I would use some different colors and paint some planters to add more color to my yard
I am planning on doing all of my mix matched planters to make them look like a set, just not sure what color yet, so many choices!
I think the term is mismatched, NOT mix matched.
Darn auto correct 🙂
I’d use it to redo my lawn chairs.
That’s a great idea! I am going to do my lawn chairs as well. I am thinking the Flex Seal pink would be great!
I love the idea of doing the brick path! I have a little patio section in my backyard with bricks down that would look so nice with some color on it!
I was thrilled how the bricks turned out, I love the way the blue looks.
I love adding decorative lights.
I do too and was thinking about creating a few projects that will light up my back porch!
My Dad has several different cans of Flex Seal, and I have no clue what he uses them for. I will have to ask him.
