How to paint zig zag and wavy stripes with quotes on planter pots

I am in love with quotes! Yes indeed I am. I have designed tons of adult coloring pages based on quotes and I have quotes all over my house and yard. My latest quote embellished items are these giant 22 inch Fiskars planters.

They were fun and easy to make.

I used Frog Tape in the chevron pattern and the scalloped pattern.

I simply ran 2 strips around the top edge to form a stripe. To prevent spray paint getting on the pot below the stripe I used some newspaper sale flyers.

I used the box the pots came in as a stand while painting them.

Now that I had a nice scallop and chevron stripe on each of the pots it was time to embellish and write the quotes.

I used 2 Krylon paint pens. 1 in gold and one in black.

The 2 quotes I wrote were:

"Don't go through like, grow through life."

and

"We never really grow up. We only learn how to act in public."

I simply hand lettered around the pot adding some swirls as well for fun.

I highly recommend dressing up flower pots and planters with quotes. It is just another thing to make you smile around your house.

How to repaint a chandelier with Krylon Glitter Blast

I am in love with light blue and well, glitter, that just makes it even better! Krylon's light blue Glitter Blast spray paint is the perfect shade of light blue to give one of my old chandeliers this fabulous new look!

It looks just as pretty in the day light as well as at night when the chandelier is lit up.

 I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with the Glitter blast directly on the brass finish or it would need a coat of white Krylon White spray paint to lighten the background so the light blue glitter would really be light.

 So I did a test on top of one of the flower areas. (Note: I prepped my chandelier by wrapping paper and painter's tape around the electrical parts.)

On the left you can see the white area with the Glitter Blast and on the right the Glitter blast directly on the brass finish.

I really liked both! The light blue Glitter Blast looked deep and rich directly on the brass. It was a tough decision but I decided to go with the white undercoat.

 Here is the chandelier with a nice coat of white all over.

And here is a close-up of the first light coat of Krylon's light blue (Sparkling Waters) Glitter Blast. I did about 3 coats letting them dry in between. It took about 1 and 1/2 cans. I'm not sure what I'm going to paint with the remainder in the second can but I can't wait to have something else that will co-ordinate with my pretty "new" glitter-tastic chandelier.
