I almost feel guilty posting this as DIY...This was literally the cheapest and easiest project I've ever attempted. No lie. It cost me under $5 and took less than 3 minutes. After loving metallics in my holiday decor so much, I began thinking of how I could incorporate gold into my formal living room along with several silver pieces I already had. I've seen some of the "gold dipped" projects on Pinterest lately and figured it couldn't hurt to try it out. Had I known it would be this easy, I would've made them as gifts! Oh well, next Christmas.
Here's what I used:

Yep...That's it! Roll in a circular motion until the rim is covered.
I just saw a bunch of gold-dipped hurricanes at HomeGoods and thought they would probably be an easy DIY project. You have affirmed my thoughts...now I just need to make some myself :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove it! So easy and so chic! I love cheap and easy projects :)
ReplyDeleteI found you through Frugal Girls and I'm glad I did. I'm your newest follower!
As for the mantel, yes, I know what you mean! That's why I set out to change mine weekly for a year. It definitely helps to rotate everything across it and by the end of my year, surely I will have found a keeper ;-)

where are those adorable ikat bowls from?
ReplyDeleteCute idea! I have a mantle that changes all the time, I love that it makes the room look new. Now if I could only find the perfect way to arrange my furniture in there, I would be all set.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I've been totally digging gold accents lately. I'll have to give this a try for my New Year's Eve party.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather.
They are so pretty! Sometimes the simplest, easiest project is the most chic :)
ReplyDeleteQuick easy projects- my favorite kind! These look great! I don't change my mantle around much. My living room furniture arrangement drives me crazy, though, can't figure out how to make it right.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! And oh so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely adds so much glamour! I love it! xo

Cute and simple. Adds something different to a room
ReplyDeleteGreat project. Easy and cheap are the best!
ReplyDeleteA thought on the mantel, it's not so much about not being able to get it right, because all of your looks are great!, I think it's more about having a place to change things up without having to commit to a whole room change.
Great blog. Keep it up!
LOVE! What a wonderfully simple idea. Even the crafting-challenged like me could do this!
