Swanky Spray Paint Transformations

Ok, time for a cool post!
Spray paint transformations! 
Yes, that's fun things you can do with spray paint to transform an object and give it an entirely new look.
 Awesome? Of course it is! 

First off - are you the type of person who walks right past the old glassware and knickknack figurines at a flea market or at the thrift shop without giving them a second glance? Check out these photos below and I promise you won't ever look at those things the same way again...

This cute dish was made by Morena from plastic & glass dollar store finds and silver spray paint (above and below)

 Check out the DIY here

Wood plaques + dollar store figurines + glue + spray paint = awesome

This one is a GREAT craft for the kids - first, you spray paint a wreath entirely white, then once it is dry, give the kids some colorful kid-safe acrylic paints and brushes and let them go to town adding color as they please. This is a great way to encourage creativity and teach color coordination. Encourage them to experiment!





I've seen lots of these old chandeliers redone in many different colors, but I like this red one by justlaine




Before and after Birdbath by Mamaroots. I'd love one in purple or red!




The same goes with garden furniture. Again, love!
