Gold accessories have been around forever and when most people thought gold or brass was out, it came back with a huge bang. I love using it to accent all kinds of things in my home and it is so easy to have a few really elegant looking accessories for just pennies with just a little DIY.
This is one of the easiest projects in the whole world. Just find a container at the $1 store and get a can of gold spray paint. Tape off your container and go to town. It will look like a million dollars in no time.
I use Design Master 24kt pure gold spray. You can buy it at Joann’s and online. I like it best for a true gold leaf color and a can goes a really long way.
Here’s another $1 item. I just taped it off in several places and then sprayed away. Great for a bud vase of maybe a pencil holder on your desk.
This technique is a little bit different. Tape your hurricane off – spray and when dry take a really, really fine steel wool and lightly go over it to distress it a tiny bit.
I picked up some black and gold tape from Target in their stationary/craft section and just taped off my design the way I wanted it. I made sure to press the edges down really well. No paint needed at all, just tape. Think of all the things you could tape!!!
Gold Desk Accessories – Same method as before. I just taped things off and sprayed them. These little dishes came from $1 store and the tape dispenser was one I already had. Definitely dresses up my desk.
When you find a tendy item that you love, change it to fit your decor. I found this piece on the clearance aisle. Not in love with the silver, but a little gold paint totally transformed it.
This is the easiest craft I can think of and all of these items would make great gifts too for just pennies. Maybe bake some cookies and put them in a pretty gold-leafed container. That sounds devine to me.
I found all kinds of gold dipped furniture on pinterest too.
The possibilities are endless.
