I was rummaging through the thrift store a few weeks ago when an idea popped up in my head. My husband can usually tell when I have these weird brain spasms (as I call them) because all my focus is directed on one thing! LOL! I headed right over to the “home decor” section and sure enough I spotted several items that I thought would make a great collection. Now this would not be a great collection just left alone. The items I picked were rather drab and old, but with a little spray paint that would all change…
Gallery Style Collection
What you will need:
Spray Paint- white is my preferred, but you could use another color. $3.00 to $7.00
knickknack’s and vases- really anything that can be spray painted and displayed… look for things with dimension!
I spent about $3.00 for all of mine!
Total cost: $6.00 to $10.00!
Directions:
Just spray paint the items and then you are done. Well, you will have to wait for them to dry! Now that was probably the easiest tutorial I have ever done, but I think that this display really makes a statement!!!
So pretty!
Oh and BTW did you know that today is the 90th day of the year? WOW! Time flies when you are having fun! 🙂
Happy Creating!
