I am always looking for a deal, maybe I am frugal. Sometimes I window shop to get inspiration for things I can do at home. Recently I visited HomeSense (which I love by the way) and saw this amazing artificial Black and White tree for the home, however, with a price tag of $200, I couldn't bring myself to pick it up. A week later I was helping my parents clean out their garage and saw my parents had stuffed away in the back a green artificial tree. Ahaaaa! With a little TLC, I would have my Black and White Tree! With my new project in hand, I made my list of things to pick up at Michaels (those 40% coupons are fantastic!)
Things needed:
- Artificial Tree
- All Surface White Paint
- All Surface Black Paint
- Black Spray Paint
- Sponge applicator
- Sealer
- Rocks
Directions: You can spray paint the tree and leaves, however, I felt also using the sponge applicator helped get into some of the crevices. Once dry, I removed the "grass" at the bottom and replaced with some rocks/stones to give it a fresh look. I also did a quick spray with a clear sealer to give it shine and seal it all in so it is easy to clean. Result: beautiful! And cost under $10!
