How to Personalise Your Backyard Cricket Set with White Knight Squirts
Struggling to get the kids into backyard cricket this summer? Sometimes all it takes is a splash of colour and a crafty makeover to get the kids involved.
With a couple of cans of White Knight Squirts, you can turn a basic cricket set into a bright, personalised masterpiece the whole family will want to play with. It’s quick, it’s creative, and it’s the perfect way to elevate your backyard fun.
What You’ll Need
- A cricket set
- Cleaning materials
- Paper
- Tape
- White Knight Squirts — 2–3 colours of your choice (Squirts Orange & Bermuda Blue look great for summer!)
Step 1: Prep Your Cricket Gear
Lay out your cricket bat, stumps and bails.
Give everything a good clean to remove dirt, grass and backyard dust so the paint sticks perfectly.
Step 2: Mask Up Your Design
Use tape and paper to cover any areas you don’t want painted.
You can create stripes, angled designs, colour blocks, anything to bring personality to your set.
Step 3: Spray With Your First Colour
Grab your first White Knight Squirts colour and spray an even coat across your design.
Go bright, bold or beachy, whatever matches your backyard summer vibe.
Let it dry before applying your next colour.
Note: If you’re using a plastic cricket set, use White Knight Plastic Primer before spraying your first coat to enhance adhesion.
Step 4: Layer on Your Next Colour
Time to add more fun.
Use a second (or third!) colour in fun patterns to make your design pop. White Knight Squirts has 40+ colours to choose from, so mix and match to your heart’s content.
Let everything dry again.
Step 5: Peel & Reveal
Carefully remove your tape and paper to show off your crisp lines and personalised style.
Instant backyard cricket upgrade!
Step 6: Get the Kids Playing
Set up the stumps, grab the bat and get ready for some backyard fun.
A colourful, custom cricket set is guaranteed to spark excitement, even from the kids who claimed cricket was “boring.”
