Going for gold!

It's been far too long between projects. I can blame the busy end of year for my lack of inspiration to try a new DIY project, but now I'm well and truly settled back into the new year I'm feeling my crafty-juices flowing once more.

I've been keeping a list of craft projects I've wanted to try in my Pinterest board for a rainy day. With the Australia Day long weekend upon us, what better time to try out something from my board.

I spotted these cute golden succulent pots and wanted to give them a try. I had some mini pots left over from some trial cupcakes I created for my sister's wedding.


So I headed off for a trip to Bunnings- one of the only stores open on a public holiday! I grabbed a selection of succulents and a can of the all important metallic gold spray paint.




It was a fairly quick process to spray paint the mini-pots. After many spray painting over spray incidents I made a makeshift studio from an old box we had left over from Christmas and it worked a treat. As they are only small pots it only took about 5 minutes to spray all three. 


A little potting mix and gravel to assist in drainage and voila! Three gold succulents all in a row!
