Golden Birds

Once I changed out our Christmas tree skirt, everything else on the tree looked jacked up.  Little by little I'm trying to change a few things...
These birds just got upgraded.

They used to look like this

so I sprayed them with gold spray paint

Much better, right?

That is, unless you are a St. Louis Cardinals fan.  I originally bought all the birds as a nod to my dear husband's favorite team.  Sorry babe, the red birds just weren't cutting it anymore!  I did leave a few red just because the kids love cardinals.

Thanks for stopping by!  Let me know what you think of my "new" blinged-out birds!
Blessings,
Jamie

    I really like the gold birds. What paint did you use? My dad's a Cards fan. I told him about the birds for your husband and now he's asking my mom why they don't have any on their tree!

    At sometime Jamie everything needs a little freshen up. Personally I adore the gold finish on the birds.

    I'd love it if you could link this project up with my Simply Christmas Inspiration party at

    I generally spray paint everything in sight, but I actually used the red birds I had and had my sister make nests from strips of paper spray painted gold.

    The power of spray paint! Love it! Those birds look great with their makeover. And I love the ruffled tree skirt and plan to make one of my own. Thanks for the tutorial. ~~Rhonda
