just spray pigment inexpensive plastic alphabet magnets DIY DIY Gold as well as Silver Magnets

Hey ya'll!!
So, this is the easiest lilliputian projection ever...DIY golden as well as silvery alphabet magnets.

They're quick, they're cheap, they're actually cute, as well as if you're anything similar me, they'll brand you lot human activity similar you lot but learned how to piece as well as you're actually excited almost it.
For similar a week.
And I totally got this idea here. So, Michael deserves all the credit for these. I am but a mere magnet copier who but wants to part her joy amongst the people.

So, here's how it all started.

I've been working on the dining room all week, as well as per usual, I acquire distracted almost in i lawsuit an hr amongst a compulsive urge to practise something else.

Classic projection avoidance.

Hey Virginia, you lot should actually goal upwardly that dining room you've been talking almost for a decade. But hey, Virginia, you lot should also buy the farm re-organize your closet, encounter what Kevin Spacey's upwardly to on House of Cards, swallow a pot pie, as well as spray pigment but about magnets.

So, at but about point, I spray painted but about magnets.

And they're my favorite affair ever.
They tin live used for thus many dissimilar things....
like reminding Jesse of my terrifying pet naming skills.

Or providing my lonely Bass magnet amongst but about much needed company.

They tin also live used equally a communication device...

...to permit Jesse know how much I appreciate his lawn assist efforts.

I took this movie out of the kitchen window. And although I intend he saw me, he may convey but been flexing inwards the street.

So, but inwards illustration you lot desire to brand your own, here's how I did it. All I did was acquire but about lilliputian alphabet letters from the kitchen utensil aisle at Target.

I got three packs because they're super stingy amongst the vowels.

And as well as thus I went into my freshly mowed yard...that I fully appreciate, despite its refusal to grow actual grass....

and as well as thus I spray painted the magnets on but about leftover cardboard similar the classy gent that I am.

I used Rustoleum vivid coat silver and gold (affiliate links).

A lilliputian suggestion: Prime first.

These lilliputian magnets convey a actually slippery surface, as well as I didn't prime number the commencement gear upwardly I did (the golden ones) as well as the pigment chipped off inwards a few places. So, I did prime number the instant gear upwardly I made (the silvery ones) as well as they ended upwardly beingness super durable. Also, allow them to fully cure earlier playing amongst them or putting them on your fridge. I took mine within to dry out (because it's super hot as well as humid hither correct now, which is non conducive to spray paint) as well as they were fully cured inwards almost an hour.

Update: H5N1 few of you lot convey asked almost the primer. I but used this spray pigment primer (affiliate link). Just spray it on, permit it dry, as well as and thus spray your golden or silvery spray pigment afterwards.

And voila...that's actually all at that spot is to it!

And right away I tin exit Jesse actually weird messages every unmarried 24-hour interval where he thinks I'm calling him 'homeboy', but actually my magnet pack but didn't offering that comma I thus desperately needed.

That's all for today, ya'll. Have a cracking weekend. We've rented a dumpster as well as volition live spending our weekend gutting the downstairs degree of the house. My excogitation is to demo you lot the finished dining room adjacent week, as well as and thus a duet of the other lilliputian completed spaces (like the bathroom) before long after that. Oh, as well as of course, get blogging almost the scariness that is certain to buy the farm my life in i lawsuit nosotros start unearthing what's downstairs.

It should live fun, either way.

Thanks for all your honey as well as encouragement, as well as most of all, patience.
I appreciate it so.

'Til adjacent time.
