I know it is August so it is a bit crazy to be thinking about winter or Christmas, but Lamps Plus and Hometalk are hosting a Holiday Design Challenge and yours truly is participating.
I am really crushing on metallics lately. Mixing metals is where it is at and I’m falling back in love with gold. Do we even have to talk about my obsession with photos? It personalizes everything.
I created metallic color blocked Christmas ornaments.
I started by taping the ornament at the line, focusing on the painted side–making sure that line was smooth and straight. Then I taped a plastic bag around the side of the ornament to protect the unpainted side. I used the packaging the ornaments came in to prop them up for painting. I just cut an X in the bottom of the tray and pulled the bags through. Then I primed and painted them using the same spray paint as my color blocked flower pot.
I found these fun little diorama type ornaments at the craft store. I backed them with gold glitter paper and then filled them with photos and sparkly doodads.
Eventually, I took all that gorgeousness and put it in my fillable lamp from Lamps Plus.
I want to thank Lamps Plus and Hometalk for inviting me to participate in this fun challenge and for supplying me with the gorgeous lamp.
What would you put in your lamp? Anyone else in love with metallics.
