Ornament Adventure Xmas2007: part 2

The spray paint bandits have attacked again!!

I've posted what I've done for my tree at Christmas's before- I've generally always been attracted to the pop-y, bright, fun, cheer-y, happy Christmas colors- I've been slowly collecting those vintage-inspired ornaments (they're not really vintage- I got most of them on sale at Target over the past three years- so there's not really much emotional attatchment)- Anyways- this year, I just felt the need for a big change. So over the weekend, I embarked on the Ornament Adventure of Xmas 2007. And so, as I mentioned, in the midst of it all, I was attacked by the spray paint bandits! I- uh... I mean, "they" kidnapped some of the ornaments and gave them a quick coat of white metal primer. It's a nice semi-matte finish- they look almost porcelain! Here's a sneak peek at how it all turned out- I'll share the rest of the final results of my Ornament Adventure Xmas 2007 in the next few days (I just have to clean up the mess I made first!) stay tuned...

They look lovely! Maybe this would work on my ornaments from my "pink and purple period"... since they really don't match my now "traditional" swedish christmas tree. Thank you for the inspiration!
