I just couldn't leave well enough alone...so I repainted these metal butterflies for my garden!
Before.......................................and after.
I found these metal butterfly stakes at the local Dollar Store and immediately made plans to repaint them for my garden.
I used two colors of spray paint to give me more of a turquoise color to complement our front deck.
Using a fine paint brush I followed the contours of the stamped metal. I added the tiny vein details to each wing then added some white dots. You can see the veins in this close up but not so much when it's outside in the yard. I also added a bit of glitter paint.
Wow! I love the pop of color against the bright green. Notice you can't really see the glitter when it's outside. But in my colorful colorful garden this blue butterfly really holds it own!
And here is the Monarch version of my Dollar Store butterflies. What a fun project this has turned out to be!
