Random Decor Projects Around The House

I had a couple of quick little projects that I managed to get done last week.  These types of things are always a great pick-me-up, because it’s something I can get done in one evening and I don’t have to go to the store to get “something”.

You remember my gold crown stocking holder I got from Tuesday Morning.

I broke off the stocking holder part and got my spray paint out.

Here it is now spray painted white.  Even after 2-3 coats, the gold color underneath gives it an antique white look in person.  I got some new tags recently, so I added one to it.

I had this old picture I found in the basement.  Small and narrow, but with some great detail on it, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with it.  The frame was an antique gold and the print was of a bird on a branch.

I was lost in between the jewelry and scrapbooking aisles at Michael’s one day and stumbled upon these keys {you can just see the package in the background below}.  The keys have words on them like “Memories”, “Love”, etc.  I had this package of rub-on words that I had picked up months ago.  Finding a rub-on and a key that seemed to work together made the decision for me.

I spray painted the frame black first.  I decided to use the rub-on that says “precious memories” and the key that says “Memories”.  I covered the backing of the picture with my linen-like fabric from Joann’s.  Hot glued the key to the backing and put the rub-on on the outside of the glass.

I put it in my upstairs hallway where I have family pictures on ledge shelves.
