Christmas Thrift Store Decor
November 06, 2012
ebay
So when I found a pair of deer at a consignment shop last year, (but forgot to photograph before spray painting), I spray painted them white. I also rubbed a little white glue on their backs and sprinkled them with some fake snow.
Then when I found this card/photograph holder in brass:
I spray painted it white too.
Then I used a sponge brush and painted some small tags with Rustoleum black chalkboard paint.
I tied jute twine on the tags and shot a few photos of my finds.
Not sure where these items will end up in my Christmas decorating, but to show you the finished products, I took a few photos.
Maybe here?
It will all be decided when my Christmas decorating is done!

ReplyDeleteOh, I like the glittery white so much better! Brass is coming back into vogue? Who knew! My 1917 brass bed may be in style once again. :@
ReplyDeleteCarlene, I love the changes you made to the reindeer and the photo holder. Great idea on the tags too! I haven't started doing any Christmas decor yet. Gotta wait til T'giving is over to get in the mood.
