All things J

                                        These bangles/bracelets were about to go in the trash :/ I had them for such a long time and they got boring to me.                I was inspired by a jewelry piece I saw on YouTube. The light bulb came on BRIGHT!!! I pulled out my (aka my mom's) handy dandy acrylic paint and the rest is history. Even if I get one wear out of them before the paint chips, it'll be cool! Step 1  I put tape on them they way I want the style to be.(sorry you cannot see well from the pics) If your hands are not shaky, you don't need the tape Step 2 Start painting. Adding coats of paint as needed. (Each coat dried pretty fast!) All done!! They are not perfect (I might clean 'em up a bit) but I really like them now. Look for them in future OUTFIT Post...

... tho lamps can't see *scratches chin* Ahright. My desk lamp's color wasn't cutting it anymore (the top was green), so I brought out the paint!! I gave it one full coat of Acrylic paint: Licorice- Plaid ( except  the knob at the back) Luckily I put it on to see that the green was still showing through the top!! When the 1st coat dried, I went in with a thick second coat painting the knob as well ... and voila, it's back in action. Downside: The paint will chip easily since I use this lamp a lot so I have to be careful. I even decided not to put my pens and pencils in it anymore. Upside: It looks dapper! Paint is a wonderful thing :) Blessings J
