Colorful Plant Stands

We have acquired quite a few plants at our house and thankfully we have a large east facing window in the front of our house so all of those plants can get ample sunlight.  This does however require a large amount of plant stands all along the window and since we have acquired them over time they didn't match. Well, after looking at them daily I thought of a new idea! I was going to 'repurpose' them! Here is the how-to...

SUPPLIES:
  • Plant Stands
  • A Tarp
  • Spray Paint
DIRECTIONS:

1) Lay the tarp out in a well ventilated area... I painted the first two in my craft room, with the window open, but it still didn't help.  The entire upstairs smelled like spray paint... oops..  Anyway, then I asked Brian to move the cars from the garage and set the tarp up in there. MUCH better.

2) Mist each stand with a different color of spray paint, do lots of thin layers about ten to fifteen minutes apart.


3) Let the paint dry for over an hour and then you're done! Here is my before and after...






 The colors I chose were... 


Watermelon, 




                  Sea foam Green






         Mustard Yellow



         Bright Red
               
                                   Mandarin Orange,  




                  and Sea Blue













MUCH better! I really like color, it cheers me up so I love the new addition.  

What are your ideas? Polka Dots? Stripes?
