Spray Painted Mums & Ferns for Christmas Porch Decor | Magic Brush
I can’t keep things alive to save my life. For real. I kill flowers. I kill plants. Countless people have tried to help me in this area, but it’s useless. Plants have a very short life in my possession.But a few years ago my BFF Laura spray painted her DEAD mums after Thanksgiving so they would be sparkly for Christmas and something in my soul LEPT. This is genius!!! So I have been spray painting my dead mums every since! 

This post contains some affiliate links for paints I use and love! Any purchases help support my painting projects. Thank you!

I make an attempt at spray painting my mums for you on this Facebook LIVE video. Yep, 250K people have watched the video AND I HAD THE WRONG SPRAY PAINT COLOR. For the love.

Big sigh.   

 

 So I redid the video the next day and demo’d how to spray paint a dead fern too. See. I am not particular about what plants I kill.

And my Facebook fan Kaseee Zaerr sent me this pic of her spray painted mums that she made for Christmas!  See…. this is totally a thing. Lol.

For more Christmas projects, look at my painted & stenciled Joy to the World pallet and my Joy barnwood sign. 

I also spray painted a fall berry wreath to orange here.

 
Happy painting,

Jen

    I honestly didn’t know this was a “thing”. My mums died while we were on vacation- well before Halloween. I thght I was just being cheap when I spray painted mine. I sprayed them the colors they originally were; yellow flowers & green stems and leaves. But now I will be spraying my ferns for Christmas. Great minds think alike.
