Spray Paint Makeover

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:)
Anyone notice the subtle difference of the photos? Haha hes too cute:)
Have you been doing any spray paint necessary projects lately? Put up your link so we can all check them out.
<3,
Adri

    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! ๐Ÿ™‚

    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)

    It is amazing what a little spray paint and work can do on things. Your owls are much prettier this color. and you have them displayed nicely.
