Spray Paint is my Friend

Ok, so apparently, I missed the spray paint

bandwagon the first few times it went around.

I've JUMPED on now!

I bought this frame at the DI (goodwill).  It was originally $5

but all frames were 1/2 off that day.

Did you know the DI had sales?  Me either!

It was a little dinged up but structurally sound.

I bought some spray black spray paint and went crazy!

It covered all the dings and made the frame look brand new!

I was so excited.  I used to to make this

(ignore the black speck still having camera problems)

I made this wreath out of coffee filters.  I used a 12" styrofoam wreath

and 1.29 worth of coffee filteres (well, only about 1/2 of them)

I've done 2 now.  One with the brown coffee filters I tried to hot glue.

Not a good idea, it melts the styrofoam and the fingers.

This white one I used floral pins, you can find them

in the floral section, I think they were $1 for a ton.

So, I was making this project as a give away at a church function. 

It didn't quite turn out as planned.  I like it alot better in the pictures

than it looked in real life.  I think I'll try adding butterflies like this ONE on

Mary Jane's and Galoshes

Suprisingly, since I never procrastinate (insert sarcastic snicker here),

I was quickly running out of time.  I repainted the frame country white.

I didn't have any white spray paint, but I have a bucket of white in

the garage.  I antiqued it with glaze and attached a wreath:

It was a hit.  Sold for quite a bit of fun money at the church function.  I was happy with how

it turned out.  Now I'm on the lookout for another frame on sale

to try to finish the coffee filter wreath!
