Working on diy

Nikki, on March 31, 2020 at 3:59 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 11
Anyone else working on DIY during this crazy time?


I’m trying to get through as much I can while we’re sheltering at home. Created some mercury vases from old wine bottles and fixing up some frames for signage

    I finished decorating my sun hat with tulle and pearls for my wedding trip. I have given my bridesmaids (adult kids) their sun hats to decorate (or not) as they wish.


    I am thinking to make my booty veil for my bikini next, but I need more tulle.
    From this many free times, I am thinking to make my ring pillow as well, because their prices are ridiculous in my opinion.
    What else... what else....

    Fun! It’s so true, ring pillows and wedding decor in general is so expensive for no reason

    Those came out great! I love that gold! Do you mind me asking what it is? I've been spray painting frames too and used a brush metallic color which looks gold in some light but in natural light it's more silvery to me. We had to postpone the wedding so I have even more time to paint.

    Hi Kim. I ended up just using a standard metallic gold from Rustoleum. We had success with both of these below. I did notice it sometimes helps to put a base coat of black or another darker color to get a deeper gold
