I hope you all had an enjoyable Labor Day! I spent the day working on Fall decorations. As I mentioned in my last post, many of my decorations were just not prim enough. But I couldn’t justify replacing it all, and I had an idea for making some of it work. I like how the Minwax stain gives the perfect finish to wooden make-overs and I thought surely there must be a spray stain for pieces that I couldn’t use a brush on. So off I went to Michael’s and sure enough I found stain in a spray can.
This is an artificial pumpkin in a fake yellow orange. Don’t you think the spray on stain is a big improvement? (I’s not shiny like it looks in the picture.)
These old luminaries were faded by the sun and these berry sprigs were a shiny bright orange. A coat of terra cotta craft paint on the pumpkins and spray stain on both gave them a much needed make over.
This fake bittersweet was very bright, but the spray stain toned it down.
These are some other items that I repainted and/or spray stained.
And this is the transforming can of spray paint.
I am pleased with how everything turned out and have started doing some decorating. I will post pictures when I get it all in place.
Have you started your Fall decorating?
Blessings and Hugs,
Sue
