DIY: Enjoyable Statue Replace with Paint

While thrift buying at Goodwill this week I discovered this cute pig statue. I cherished the look, however I wasn’t too eager on the colour.  My first thought was to color it! I usually solely refinish furnishings or something made with wooden materials, however for the value of $5 I believed, hey, why not give it a strive!

 

 

I believed it might look cute in toned-down colours so I began by brush portray the statue all black for a base shade.

 

 

I wasn’t positive on how I used to be going to do the colours so I figured it out as I went alongside. The one factor I used to be positive on was that I wished the feed bag and chef hat to be white, and naturally that the pig face can be pink. I didn’t need any of the paint to be in strong colours so I dry brushed the white and pink on with a small painters brush. That approach the black would nonetheless barely present by way of.

 

 

 

My authentic thought was to depart the chef jacket black, however then I made a decision it was an excessive amount of of a giant portion on the statue so I made a decision to match it with the white chef hat. I then added shade by portray his apron and chef neckerchief a brilliant pink. After the paint dried I utilized a transparent high coat to guard the paint.

 

 

I put the statue on high of my popcorn machine/wine stand and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!

 

 

And this is among the many issues I like about Goodwill. The costs are so low you may take an opportunity of shopping for one thing even when you’re unsure redo it.

 

Thank you for following me!
