Gold and silver twigs

That's effectively what I had in mind last weekend. I ended up stinking the place out, even the next door neighbour came out in the cold to find out what the hell I was doing. Oops. Backtrack a few hours, this is what I started out with:


Some twigs, some gold and silver spray paint, a vase begging to be filled with seasonal ornaments and some newspaper for protection.


Fast forward a few days (for drying, the paint does smell quite a lot), add some shiny baubles and here it is!!!


I'm quite excited at the result of this super quick project. Ok the spray paint didn't come cheap, but there's plenty left in there and now I'm left buzzing with ideas as to what to make with what's left. And it did trigger the buying of the cutest christmas baubles - aren't they adorable? I'm still wondering what to do with the rest of them, there were 100 in all sorts of colours in the packet after all!

Spray paint is very stinky stuff indeed. But totally worth it for this kind of simple craft. How about a bauble wreath next?

Looking good! I've got my snowflakes up! Christmas tunes already playing in the background - getting a bit more organised this year than usual due to my students I guess! xxx
