Gold Accented Bowl Refashion // We all have them… Little spots in our garages and basements with little odds and ends that used to be treasures, but have since lost their flair. Whether they are old and out of date, or just need a little sprucing up… These goodies still have a place!! When my friends at Michaels craft stores contacted me about Project ReLove I easily jumped onboard. Project ReLove is in honor of Earth Day and a fabulous movement to inspire all of us to create something new, out of something we already have. No need to run out and find new supplies, just go shopping in your lost treasures. You'll be amazed what a little paint, glue, Mod Podge or a little bling can do for an tired old treasure. 

I went shopping in my garage and found an old wood bowl that I bought a while ago and thought I could breath new life into with a little gold paint. 

The other day I was shopping at Target and found this amazing gold accented bowl in the Nate Berkas collection…

I knew with a little gold spray paint from Krylon I could transform my old wood bowl into somthing like Nate's creation. All I needed was the spray paint, some painters tape and some plastic wrap and I was in business…

I taped off the sections that I didn't want to paint. Make sure you watch your lines to make sure that's the way you want your final piece to look. Sometimes you need to tape in small sections in order to achieve the desired look. I then carefully painted the bowl with slow even movements to create a smooth unblemished surface. Two coats of paint was perfect…

Once the paint dried, I removed the tape, the plastic wrap and voila, I now have a perfect new accent piece for a new display I'm working on. I just LOVE it!! 

So, what do you have that you can repurpose or refashion? What's living in the deep dark corners of your garage that can become something fabulous again? You can join Michaels for Project ReLove too!
