Finished! |
I also used the base of a disposable cookie sheet, that, to flatten out more, I busted out my rolling pin and went to town. And, instead of using a pen and ruler to outline, I used a leftover stylus from a phone. Worked like a charm, not to mention, was very helpful with flipping the edges over the ruler.
I used a lovely metallic blue paint, with an off white, and kind of layered and wiped until I was happy. I then did the edges in orange glitter, because I'm not happy if I haven't spread glitter around my house.
I then used some 28g wire and made little loopies to make the stars dangle and to make an ornament hook.
Cookie sheet, flattened! |
First coat of paint |
You really can't see what I'm doing, but you can see my incredibly tidy work area. Stop laughing. |
More layers of paint. Also an example of my foil covered cookie sheets I use to pretend like I'm corralling my projects. |

ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty! I love this idea! What kind of paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteI used Folk Art paint, the blue is my new best friend: Metallic Blue Topaz (and I would use it for EVERYTHING if I could) and the off-white is Linen.
ReplyDeletethat's awesome! i can't believe you did something like this...so time consuming! looks great!
ReplyDeleteThey really came out great. Good job. Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteAlicia,
ReplyDeleteYour stars rock! I LOVE how the 6 point Star of David's turned out ... and yeah, the blue paint is pretty much the greatest shade of blue ever.
aaaagh SO CUTE
ReplyDeleteThanks all!
ReplyDeleteCape: The first one took a little bit of time, but once I got rolling, they went pretty quickly. But I'm glad they LOOK like they took a long time!
Nike: Thank you so much! If I could buy that paint by the bucket, I think I would. Stupidly perfect blue.
FABULOUS! They look so awesome! {And ridiculously hard!}
