DIY: Simple Upcycled Owl


Last weekend I went on a mini shopping spree at Home Goods with a good friend. I found a green glass owl for $8 and my first thought was: what color should I paint this?! As you can see, I went with yellow.  I'm pretty happy with the results. 


I made sure to primer the owl before painting it.


I love this little guy so much now. I think this might be the beginning of another collection!

  1. I love it! You finally did what you've been meaning to. Yay! Btw I didn't mind the iridescent green so much either. Now I'm tempted to spraypaint somethin with that sweet shade of green I have... Tim's already been harassing me that it's been sitting in the closet and that I haven't used it yet!
