This summer I found this black star at a yard sale. It still had its original price tag on it ($9.99) and was covered in a few years' worth of dust. It was marked 10 cents! It's tough to see, but it's a half-star on the front with an opening on the other half. I don't know why this photo is upside down...
My mind began thinking of its possibilities. Maybe it could work for a 4th of July decoration filled with faux plants or patriotic something-or-others? It could even make use during the Christmas season. I cleaned it up, removed the tag (which was petrified on and needed "Goof Off" and elbow grease) and decided to spruce it up with a light coat of silver metallic spray paint. I wanted more of a gun-metal finish on it so I went sparingly. Can't you just see it filled with ornaments this December? I am planning on a silver and gold theme this holiday season so it could very easily find a place in our great room in a few months.
