It looks like they're planning their escape to a warmer climate! Let's all head South!
I wanted them to be similar and not white. I got a can of Krylon Metallic Brilliant Silver spray paint. Spray painting in the cold is not easy to do - even in a garage. The paint doesn't want to dry.
It was about 33 degree's here on Monday {a heat wave} and I sprayed these all in a cardboard box and brought them in to dry. It does say on the can "Indoor" however, I would never spray paint in the house.
Now they all match!
Really a candle holder - but I like her being an egg holder!
Silver Tweets ~ an ode to Spring!
My calendar says the first day of Spring is March 20th - I can't wait! I'll be doing a lot more spray painting when warm weather finally arrives!
Very good make over! They look so classy now!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great week,

quick question about your spraying outside and then bringing them inside to dry....did they smell? You know that awful spray paint smell? My husband and I were just talking about this because I had wanted to spray paint something and I mentioned doing it outside and then bringing it inside to dry and he said it would still smell and he didn't really want the boys to smell it.
ReplyDeleteThe smell wasn't too bad. If you have somewhere to put them while drying and not close to children it should be okay. Or you could paint them with craft paint, there is metalic craft paint. I can't wait for warm weather a.k.a. spray paint weather! ~Marcy
