Welp, New Year’s Eve is only a few days away and I just couldn’t let it slip away without a DIY to ring in the new year: hand painted party prop parasols. I found these colorful paper umbrellas (there are tons of colors available) a while back and I knew they would make cool props with a little paint. Here’s how you can make your own…
Supplies:
gold leaf paint // decorative paper umbrellas // paint brush
How-To:
Grab your gold leaf paint and a paint brush and get to work. Simple as that. No prep necessary. Pro tip: Be sure not to add too much paint to your brush at once. The paper umbrellas are thin, so huge globs of paint could cause damage to the paper. Thin coats of paint are best.
I hope you have an amazing new year! I’ll be back to regular posting on January 2nd.
