Gold Accessories - Dipped - Dyed - Taped - DIY
Yesterday I was a guest at my friend Amber @ Follow The Yellow Brick Home's blog. I love her home and her style. She has the most amazing antique collection and the ability to create the most amazing vignettes. She asked me if I would share some of the ways I use Gold accessories in my home. Most of all, I love to share how to DIY a few of these for pennies. If you missed that post on her blog, I thought I would share it again here.
Gold accessories have been around forever and when most people thought gold or brass was out, it came back with a huge bang. I love using it to accent all kinds of things in my home and it is so easy to have a few really elegant looking accessories for just pennies with just a little DIY.
How To Gold Leaf A Glass Vase
This is one of the easiest projects in the whole world. Just find a container at the $1 store and get a can of gold spray paint. Tape off your container and go to town. It will look like a million dollars in no time.
I use Design Master 24kt pure gold spray. You can buy it at Joann's and online. I like it best for a true gold leaf color and a can goes a really long way.
Here's another $1 item. I just taped it off in several places and then sprayed away. Great for a bud vase of maybe a pencil holder on your desk.
This technique is a little bit different. Tape your hurricane off - spray and when dry take a really, really fine steel wool...
