Here's the stuff:
Krylon Glitter Blast Glitter Spray -- this color is Diamond Dust - pretty iridescent glitter in a clear coat.
I really have been bummed and out of it since the serger debacle. Felt like my creative fire was dampened by the disappointment of a broken gadget. My life hasn't been the same. (No one ever said I wasn't overly dramatic sometimes.) Seriously though, creative life right now is BS - Before Serger and AS - After Serger. Take that as you will.
Needing to do something, I grabbed the spray paint and anything in sight, and ran outside and went to work. Here's what I got:
A cheap pair (and cheap looking) of red peep toes. A clearance Ikea lantern.
I just went to work on them immediately. I didn't protect the grass. My thinking was that my grass needed more glitter in it anyway. I didn't tape any parts of anything. I wanted results, and I wanted them now.
Note - I realize spray paint is flammable. I use battery operated candles in the lantern - I have 2 dogs, a cat, and 2 preschoolers. I can't keep fire around here.
Here's the 5 minutes post-spraying pics:
You can see the paint hasn't totally dried - but look how much glitter is in there!
And here's the red shoes - if you have cheap shoes, and aren't afraid to make them look cheaper, just glitter them up - can't hurt, right?
Look how pretty they turned out!
Some new life to my old shoes. Glitter makes me happy.
I totally recommend this stuff for instant gratification. I may have also attacked a friendly bystander:
Can you see that sly little smile in his sleep? I think he likes the glitter.
What would you spray paint? Because I still have plenty of paint!
This could be dangerous because I LOVE glitter--my husband is not going to be happy ;) What happened to the serger?!
ReplyDeleteOH, Lucy 1 and Lucy 2 bit the dust and were returned. New serger is waiting to be bought - trying this new thing of getting the money first and THEN buying the thing. Weird, huh? Anyway, I have it all picked out - Mr. Tupelo approved a fancy one - the Viking Huskylock s21 - http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/us/17974.htm
ReplyDeleteSo I'm waiting to get my funds together. And I just might buy in cash. Just for fun. :)
