Materials:
- Metal ornament tree
- 10 - 12 small ornaments
- 1 can Krylon® Indoor/Outdoor Primer
- 1 can Krylon® Brushed Metallic Paint, Oil Rubbed Bronze
- 1 can Krylon® Glitter Blast™ Glitter Paint, Sparkling Water
- 1 can Krylon® Glitter Blast™ Glitter Paint, Silver Flash
- Masking tape
- String or fishing line
- Drop cloth
Instructions:
- Clean all objects to be painted, making sure the surfaces are free of dirt and dust.
- Mask off ornament hangers.
- Prime the Ornament Tree. Apply several light coats of Krylon® Indoor/Outdoor Primer. Spray from side to side in a sweeping motion beginning off the surface and ending off of the other side.
- Paint ornament tree with Krylon® Brushed Metallic Oil Rubbed Bronze. Apply multiple thin coats to avoid runs and drips. Wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes between coats. Let dry.
- Spray ornaments with Krylon® Glitter Blast™. (We sprayed half with Glitter Blast™ Silver Flash and half with Glitter Blast™ Sparkling Waters.) Apply multiple thin coats. Wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes between coats, shaking can before each coat. Let dry.
- Remove masking tape or replace ornament hangers after Glitter Blast™ is dry to handle, approximately 24 hours.
Tip: Make it easier to spray all sides of the ornaments by creating a makeshift closeline and hang ornaments from string or fishing line.
