Halloween Wreath Upcycled To A Winter Centerpiece
I had made two wreaths for Halloween, starting with the same type of nutty twig wreath.
This was my first one, which I sold.
The second one that I made I spray painted black. It did not sell.
What to do with a black wreath for the holidays?
After yanking off the Halloween decor, I spraypainted it white. But it did not look white,
it looked a sad gray.
So I brushed on some off-white chalk paint and immediately sprinkled on some vintage mica "snow". I did about a quarter of the wreath at a time, to make sure the paint was still very wet when sprinkling on the mica.
It had a nice effect, and I am using it as a table centerpiece while I am hosting my family this weekend.
