I have stumbled upon a few DIY projects that all have the same theme – gold spray paint! It’s amazing how a little gold paint really goes a long way in decorating. Remember- you don’t have to do just gold, you can switch it up to your color of choice. Let me know if you do any of these super cute DIY’s! I’d love to see how they turn out!
For the kitchen…
Supplies:
- cardboard or paper
- plastic primer spray paint

Instructions:
- In a well-ventilated area, on a piece of paper or cardboard, start by spraying the back of your letters with the primer. (you can sprayed right over the magnets. They hold just as well with the paint.
