Okay so this was just a random spur of the moment type of idea.
I had this Butterfly shaped Brass plate for as long as I could remember. Over the years it had just become really dull and I thought why not just spruce it up with some paint.
I never really used it hence I wanted to update it so it could be kinda useable.

This is how it looked before.
Materials Used on this Project
Silver Spray Paint
Mod Podge
As you can see it clearly needed a little help.
I took my Metallic Spray Paint in Silver Chrome and gave this plate a good two coats and let it dry.
The silver literally transformed the piece, it looked so good!
I could have kept the Butterfly plate as is but I found the lid of this Gift Box in my house which had the same silver accents as my piece.
So I decided to use some Mod Podge and glue it onto the lid.
Which was perfect because now I could hang it up on the wall.
And let me tell you it looks great.
What do you guys think?
Would you update those old decoration pieces and make them look brand new?
