Spray On Some Holiday Cheer! November 18, 2010
Have you discovered the versatility of metallic spray paint? No? Well, if you’re looking to jazz up your holiday home, for next to nothing, gold and silver spray paint is your friend! How about taking your harvest collection of pumpkins and gourds and spraying them a mix of silver and gold? If you have an inexpensive wreath that needs some love, spray it gold and hang it in a window from a pretty ribbon, to say “welcome”! The list goes on, to include baskets, candlesticks, picture frames…although, I’d suggest you stop short of the kids. Happy spraying!
The holidays are fun because it gives us all an excuse to do something a little different around the house. For example, for the dining room table, us an oversized, rectangular tablecloth that will hang to floor at both ends.
Pick up a corner, gathering the left and right sides and bunch together,wrapping a thick rubber band around the base of the bunched fabric. The bunch can be pulled and arranged to resemble a rosette ( approx 9? in diameter). Tie a wide ribbon with a bow with the 2 ends hanging at the base of the rosette and you have a beautiful and unexpected decoration. Continue with the 3 other corners of the tablecloth. You can add silk poinsettia’s at the top of the bow if you like. Keep in mind you can use this concept for any party you want to jazz up. Its fun and easy and you can make it your own.
