DIY upcycle in AQUA!


today i wanted to share a few easy diy projects i did over the weekend! they both involve spray paint! e-nuf said, right!?

the first project, i found on pinterest from stories of a&z, is a DIY earring upcycle. 

here's how you do it:
1. take you boring, old earrings and tape over the hooks/wire/posts.
2. spray a thin layer of primer spray paint
3. let dry
4. spray a thin layer of your color spray paint. maybe two. (the color i used was Krylon's Ocean Breeze)
5. let dry
6. when dry, remove the tape and you have an exciting, new, sassy pair of earrings!





next project...
i needed a little color by my front door. 
had a boring, white mailbox. kinda old, paint was chipping, little rusty.
primed, painted (same color) = awesome, new-to-me, mailbox!



you gotta love spray paint! the possibilities are endless!!
have a happy day!
