Need a 2nd opinion...
Hey.
I've been a member for a long time, but never posted. I'm truly in awe of the projects other members have posted, so pretty! I skew to much more... simple projects. =)
I need help on my current one. In the laundry room of my apartment building, someone started a "FREE" box, and sometimes I find some decent stuff. A few months ago I found this set of three plastic butterfies that hang on a wall. They were spray painted gold, and had seen better days, but I just thought they still had potential, especially for a little girl's room, and in new colors, with maybe glitter.
Here's the first one before:
And here's it's current state:
So I'm debating what to do now. I think it needs glitter (I'm assuming these will end up with a six year old girl ;) ), but do I want to spray adhesive and go to town with full on glitter, or do i want to add glitter to either mod podge or a sealer, and go with a lighter, more spread out glitter?
I seriously think if I had the time/space/money I'd be one of those people that buy stuff from thrift stores/yard sales/flea markets and makes them over.
Just taking a stab at the tags, not sure what applies here.
