Since I have been in recovery and
since I have TONS of magazines
(thanks to expiring miles bonus points),
I have decided to make the most of this
sit down-lay down, time.
Here is a slightly different version of this recent book project.
You'll need:
magazine(s)
spray paint
and time
Fold your magazine's pages like
so.
Take it outside and spray paint.
I started with a layer of white, and finished it with a generous layer of
metallic silver spray paint.
(I already owned both cans)
Now on to making a few more,
with magazines of different height.
The trees will all be on the dresser in the girls princess room...
which I will reveal very soon.
Pinky promise.
Pinky promise.
Cost of this project
$0
(my favorite)
Stay Frugal,
A good thing to do while you are recovering. I love them- xo Diana

Good Evening Daniela, I do hope you are feeling a little better, I have been following you, but have been really busy as my daughter is visiting from India, so I have not been able to leave as many comments as I normally would. Take care of yourself and get well soon. Best Wishes Daphne

I love this idea. I've seen them done without the spray paint, but really love the finished look of the paint! So clever and a great way to recycle old magazines. So sorry to hear that you're still not feeling well.
ReplyDeleteNothing goes to waste in your house, does it? I love these and can't wait for you to honor that pinky promise and show them to us in your little girl's room.
ReplyDeleteOh I adore this!! What a fun way to spend time while you're recovering, too. Can't wait to see the final display in the girls room!!! Thank you for participating in Favorite Things! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are keeping yourself busy girl! Even while recovering! This tree is my favorite, you're tempting me to go and do some!
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice, what a great magazine repurpose!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who made a bunch of these but didn't spray paint them. I love the spray painted look too~!
ReplyDeleteComing to you from Artistic Expressions. I remember my brother making these with his cub scout troop way back when!
ReplyDeleteOk, this is looking like a very cool craft. I can't wait to see what you do with them. #exciting.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you're healing quite nicely and will be good as new for the holidays!
