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 space 
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.
space 
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!
space 
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!!

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,

Well done you, a great colour match and so very brave of you to give it a go. Nice one.

Hey Karen,
ReplyDeleteI like the lighter green, it's more "spring like".

ReplyDeleteI have to say I have not used a spray can in many many moons, but this is a great use for some! Ivy Leaf, too funny.
