Meet my new friends..2 birds and an owl. I like them:) I especially like that I got them at Savers for just a little $$. I don’t especially like their color though, so…spray paint saves the day, yet again!
Supplies:
- 1 Can Heirloom White spray paint
- 1 set of gloves {for those of you like me who tend to get the paint ALL over yourself}. Totally not necessary to some, but totally necessary to me.
- If you’re lucky enough the objects will already be wrapped in newspaper from the store {yes!!} but if not, some sort of surface to paint on
- 3 adorable objects
After 3 light coats to each and ample drying time here is the outcome:
Lets just ignore the incredibly dirty window:) |
Have you been doing any spray paint necessary projects lately? Put up your link so we can all check them out.

I’ve never thought about spray painting something. But now I’ve seen you do it a few times and it’s such a brilliant idea. Maybe if I decide to get crafty one day, I’ll have to try it! ๐

These are adorable. The owl is so cute. Funny, I -just- found a set of three birds that look very similiar to your two, but they were blue. I spray painted them white, too! (yet to post about it… on my to do list)
