New Life for Old Christmas Ornaments


White satin Christmas ornament with glitter stripes
 

Silver Salvage

Problem: Stripes in red and bright yellow-gold were unappealing, and the ornament looked dated, cheap, and plasticlike.

Solution: Coat the ornament with matte silver spray paint; let dry. Glue on beads to create glistening vertical stripes. Finish with a big sheer silver bow tied to the top.
