this is so EASY!
i bought this cuff for CHEAP at a women’s consignment shop in NY {yes, my mom’s store – check out her site here}
but i don’t like gold. i like turquoise.
i had NEVER spray-painted jewelry. have you? i have been so scared and not sure why — because it TOTALLY rocks now. yep, check it out!
okay. a little how-to tute:
ugly cuff | primer spray paint | fave color spray paint
spray on some primer – let it dry in the beautiful bright sun!
{make sure you spray all sides, nooks & crannies!}
spray on your fave spray paint color!
let it dry again.
take photos to show all of your friends!!
wear it…
{{orange/coral beaded bracelet is from Heavenly Hostess}}
take another photo to share with friends because you’re so proud of yourself
& just enjoy it! i know i am!
what color would you have spray painted my cuff??

If I had to choose a color for me it would have been a teal or a bright white ~ then with glitter all over it too
LOVE this Aimee!! I think the color is perfect – and I love those coral bracelets you paired it with! Super cute!
They look so fabulous together! I’ve definitely never spray painted jewelry!
I love it!! It looks so awesome with that coral bracelet!!
I love it! Great color (I happen to dig those coral bracelets too!)
You did great, good inspiration too!! Love to color combo!
There are a LOT of things I’ve spray painted in my day…but jewelry? Not yet… till I saw this cute bracelet! Love it!
I love the turquoise! great idea:)

Woo hoo! Found you over on A2D! Love this idea– now I want to keep my eyes peeled for a cool cuff to spraypaint!
Wow, I love the idea and the colour is gorgeous!! Think I’ll go for turquoise and dark blue ombre, if only I had the skill…!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!!
This is such a clever idea! Good on you for taking the initative to spraypaint jewellery – it totally paid off. I am a colour junkie so should take a leaf from your book!
P.S I have just started following your blog. And would love if you got a chance to check mine out!
I would LOVE it if you would link this up at my turquoise lovin’ party going on right now!! http://www.sweetlittlegals.com/2011/10/turquoise-lovin-10.html
Great idea… and a huge improvement… also love the orange/aqua combo
Super cute! love the color. thanks for sharing!
So pretty in turquoise! Now I’m looking for jewelry I can spray paint!
Hey Aimee!! I loved your cuff so much I featured it today!!

I would have done the exact color! I have a chest of drawers in my living room I spray painted that color – - love it!
All the Best to You!
I would probably paint it pink or purple, but tons of my clothes are turquoise. I’m embarrassed to say how many turq dresses I have.
That is such a cool idea, to paint your jewelry. You can add new life to old discolored jewelry.
Thanks for sharing!
Love the idea of spray-painting costume jewelry. I’d have done either turquoise, as you did, or jade. What an awesome idea!
