Next I sprinkled...poured...the glitter on each letter. |

I was getting really excited after I sprayed the ball. It was looking really pretty. |

Next up I needed to make something for the "Ho Ho Ho". I had some old fence boards out in the garage as well as some scrap wood from our wainscot project I did a few months back. |

After I attached the boards with screws I dug thru my stock pile of paints and found some white to dry brush on. |

Here is how it all pulled together. No worries about the big empty space. It is all part of the plan!;) |

And here was the plan. I liked it but I was NOT in love with it. It was missing something. Here is where I will let you know that you can not spray paint a bouncy ball without spraying it down with primer for plastic first. My bouncy/gazing ball was still sticky hours later so the sweet gals over on my FaceBook page suggested that I put glitter all over it for an easy solution that would not cause me to have to start all over and steal yet another one of my boys bouncy balls. I added the glitter and then decided that I really wanted to make the ball look like a Christmas ornament. |

I attached it with some hot glue. It WAS exactly what the bouncy/gazing ball needed. Now I LOVE my front porch vignette! |

I love the sparkly HO HO HO.
ReplyDeleteHello, very, VERY pretty porch. I wondered if you could tell me if you had to prime the ball first? Did you have any problems with the paint drying? I've tried this with colored spray paints with the primer built in, but mine never dried. I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with the metallic spray paints vs the colored spray paints.
