Well, when I picked them up, they looked like this.
They were kind of egg shaped ping pong balls, just oozing potential.
I began by painting them with a mixture of ASCP Pure White and Provence.
Looking for more inspiration? I'm looking forward to participating in the Bluebonnet Blog Hop next week. Come see how Texas bloggers are welcoming Spring.
Heartfully,
Eilis

Where do you get the guilding wax?
DeleteHi Stacey,
DeleteI bought this wax when I was buying Annie Sloan Chalk Paint from The Purple Painted Lady online for another project. I'm sure other brands at places like Hobby Lobby would be the same.
Do you know how much I love these! I saw them on IG, and oohed and awwed then too.
ReplyDeleteLove this project! Pinned.
Thank you so much for sharing them with us today at Thoughts of Home on Thursday!
