then you know i have something of
an
animal print crush thing going on
so when i saw these bad boys
in a pier one ad

which sell for $4.95 each
a little lightbulb went
pop
in my head
so i ran out
bought me some clear glass ball ornaments
a can of gold spray paint
rummaged around in my
for some leftover black and brown paint
modge podge
and
voila
my very own
(for a total of about $7.00)
leopard balls
(at least i didn't use that as my post title...)
but i definitely thought about it.

Very clever of you to make your own! And I laughed out loud when you said you "definitely thought about" using that as your post title. Ha. :)
ReplyDeletelol....very cool! Love when we can get the designer look for less!
ReplyDeleteI love your leopard balls!

L O V E!! Animal prints are my fave too! I have been meaning to make some leopard spotted balls too with glitter I think....hmmm,maybe a lil project to do when the kiddies go to bed tonight.
ReplyDeleteFun! Everyone can use a little leopard print...even Santa. Be glad you did not use Leopard Balls as you title. I used Chick on a Stick once...it still haunts me.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a bargain! Great job :)
