Happy Tuesday, Friends! Welcome to our first Creative Craft blog hop of 2024! As you've probably noticed, we've switched from Thursdays to Tuesdays. Today I'm sharing a simple winter decor upcycle that once again proves the power of a little paint
Thank you to Sara from Birdz of a Feather for hosting us and if you hopped over after visiting Gail at Purple Hues and Me, welcome! Wasn't her soap dish project lovely? When my mom sent me this pair of cute little birds, I wanted to brighten up their hats to take them from Christmassy to wintry...
...so I pulled out several paints I had on hand. Maybe you also have a project that you'd like to personalize with different colors or you want to elevate decor that's tucked in a cabinet.
As you can see below, all I did for this project was paint the portions of the hats that I preferred to change. Painting tape is optional depending on your project. You'll notice that I didn't need it this time due to the grooves in the hat design which made the stripes easier to paint. TIP: Don't be afraid to customize your paint by blending colors--I added white to the green for a lighter shade.
I'm so glad you stopped by today! Next on the hop is Allyson from Southern Sunflowers--you're going to love her pretty heart makeover--then you can visit the rest of today's featured bloggers below:
