trash to treasure

what kind of blue spray paint did you use for the silverware and the pitcher/vase. I am looking for a great bright blue/teal to paint up some accents for our daughters apt.

Is the paint OK on the silverware to use to eat with????

  Hi! I used the Turquoise from Valspar for the silverware and vase. It’s totally fine to use on silverware as long as you cover the part that you eat with when you’re spraying the base – wrap them in plastic and tape so you won’t get any on the part that goes on your mouth. The paint should last a couple washes but it may wear off after a while – it’s mostly something fun to do on cheap thrift store silverware to use for a party. hope that helps!

    Thank you …………… what FANTASTIC and FUN ideas. I watched this episode at 10:00 p.m. and wanted to race to the thrift store to find some great treasures. I am a thrift store junkie anyway.
