Spray Painting a Topiary...

Do you remember these topiaries I made last year? They were a Christmas clearance redo. Click here to go to that post.

Even though I did love the way they turned out, they were a little too green. space Especially now that I added this chartreuse green wreath in the hallway next to where these topiaries are on the dining room table. spa

What's a girl to do? Spray paint them of course!! See the difference in the color? The spray painted one is on the right.

It's not completely spray painted...just enough to have different shades of all the greens. I did a few light coats, let them dry in between each coat. That way it doesn't look like a solid color.

Now it matches the wreath so much better!

It matches better in person...it was a little bright from the sun light coming in.
space
I used this paint and I already had it...which is even better. This was a gloss, maybe satin would be great too. The funny thing is, it's called Ivy Leaf!!
space
Don't like any of the artificial plants or flowers you have stored away and never use...try spray painting them. What's the worst that can happen...you weren't using them any way!!


Have a great day,
