Ya'll won't believe what I did with these Halloween ghosts I found at Pop Shelf. Yeah, I know Halloween is over but this post isn't about Halloween, it's about re-purposing,
Our daughter recently bought a home and moved away, so I'm turning her room into an office/play room for the grands. I plan to decorate in there with the finished product.
As soon as I walked into Pop Shelf, this little $2 guy caught my attention. To my 80's eye, I saw Pac Man!
I bought some paint while I was there. Pop Shelf carries the Deco Art Brand, I bought Cherry Blossom Pink, Turquoise, and Goldenrod. I already had Apple Barrel Flag Red and Snow White at home as well as Folk Art Primer and Deco Art Varnish I bout at Hobby Lobby.
Even after using the primer, the "Boo" was still visible through the paint. I had to put several coats on there. I just left it all out on my kitchen island and went back to do another layer here and there until I was happy with the result. I then used a coin to trace around for the eyes, painted them white, then added a navy blue pupil which was also Deco Art from Pop Shelf.
Tada! Introducing Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde!! I LOVE THEM! Now I'm on the lookout for a wooden circle thick enough to stand up, for you know who!!
