A person decides to paint their outlet covers in their art room. They start by sanding and priming the covers, then use water-based spray paint to create background colors. They choose a different color for each cover, aiming to use the colors of the rainbow, but realize the set doesn't include purple. They order purple spray paint and continue decorating the covers using pasta paint pens. They add various designs, including a rainbow, candy pattern, strawberries, and a beach scene. After completing the decorations, they apply a varnish to protect the paint. The person is happy with the result, except for one cover that didn't turn out well, and plans to redo it later.
