Painted Bird Cage
Hello Friends
How often have you walked away from an item at a yard sale because you thought it was
outdated or you didn't like the color?
An easy fix for outdated items is painting.
I used a free sample of gray paint from Lowes. You can see by the condition of the can it has been used on several projects. I really stretched this freebie out.
I also used raw umber craft paint.
I used this paint on the metal bars to get rid of the pink and to make the bars look rusty. You could use spray paint for a project like this, but I wanted to preserve and enhance the rust that was already there.
I used a foam paintbrush on the outside.
On the inside, I used the paint brushes shown in the previous picture. I used the one with the shortest handle so it would fit inside and made it easier to manipulate my hand around.
To get the rusty look I put a small amount of raw umber paint on a brush and brushed it on haphazardly.
An unexpected surprise!
While previewing this post I noticed I used the same colors that are in my blog design.
Did anyone catch that?
How funny is that?
