I know that Met Mondays are typically for room re-do's and home transformations, but I just had to share this little metamorphosis of such a simple item.
I frequently shop my local Dollar Tree store and sometimes I find stuff...sometimes I don't, but one day I spotted these little garden plaques. They are small, only approximately 7'', and come in a variety of different flowers. I picked the poppy (I seem to be on some kind of poppy-kick). I obviously did not like how it originally looked...but I knew it could be painted.....
Step 1# Source ugly flower plaque :)
Step #2 Base coat the flower, in your choice of color.
Step #3 Apply second coat
Step #4 Use white paint to highlight
Step #5 Go back in with original colors, letting the highlights stay where they would naturally be. Add some, what I call, "Stylized Highlights"
Step #6 After you have gotten the flower how you like it, put a nice coat of sealer on, let dry.
Viola!
A beautifully hand-painted Poppy!
From an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan!
Hope you have enjoyed Met Monday!
Just remember that almost anything can be painted. You can make anything into a little piece of art!
Have a great day and Happy Metamorphosing! :)
