I’m having dinner at my house over Thanksgiving weekend (I’m spared the actual Thanksgiving dinner thanks to my mother-in-law!). But don’t worry, people will still be coming over, and I want to give them something nice to eat and also something to feast their eyes on!
I couldn’t believe how gorgeous this project turned out! I’m so excited. The real beauty is how easy it is... and how inexpensive!
It’s all in the art of spray paint. First, you go gather things from the yard, or in the case of my friend Susan, something from the produce section of the grocery store. You then pick a favorite metallic spray finish. For this, I chose silver.
Get on the gloves and in a well-ventilated space, start spraying and let the magic happen. I spray painted leaves, branches and pine cones.
For the acorns, I went with copper, just to give a little dimension.
My friend used silver spray painted on apples, which turned out beautiful.
Then comes the fun of setting it out on the table and lighting the candles. Voila! The added beauty of working with objects from the yard is that you can pack them up and use them year after year. Even during these tough times, we have so much to be thankful for. Adding a little sparkle to the table reminds us of the good things ahead. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
