Gold Painted Holiday Ornaments

This year we've been making and collecting decor in a neutral and metallic color scheme. I've seen spray painted animals all over pinterest, so I decided to try them out as simple ornaments. We followed this tutorial via Curbly to add hooks with a drill and then finished them with simple gold spray paint. I love how they turned out and will definitely make more in the future! Have you made any ornaments this year? xo. elsie

I love these! I made toy animals into Christmas candle holders! (Here: http://www.chasingthere.com/2012/12/christmas-craze-candle-holders.html) I love how these little toys add so much fun character to a space!

yours are a little fancier than mine!! I did these animals too - and dinosaurs! All painted gold... but I glued my ribbon on top. LOVE them!!

Love these custom ornaments!! This just shows, it doesn't take much to truly make holiday decorating your own.

I've been spraypainting everything gold this season, too! Ever since I bought some gold spray paint for my stepdaughter's Halloween costume, nothing has been safe. My favorite was making gold Christmasy mantlepiece decorations out of our pumpkins.

Cute! I love the gold horse.

I made all kinds of crochet ornaments this year! I also give a handmade ornament to my mom every year that I haven't finished yet. Only two weeks left! ;)

These are adorable!! I haven't made any ornaments yet this year, but I've made a few things for holiday home decor. Fuzzy Christmas trees with bells, a red sparkly deer silhouette wall art, and (my favorite) an antler wall plaque (which I shared here: http://lepetithoot.com/blog/crafting/2012/diy-antler-wall-plaque/ )

Such a cool idea! My family's Christmas ornaments are all animals, and this would be a cool way to bring that idea into my own Christmas tree someday.

I'm going gold with our decorations this year as well...everything I touch seems to either get painted gold, wrapped in gold or dipped in gold glitter! and then you go and show me this...I'm off to buy some animals!
