I would like to say a big thank you to Krylon for sponsoring this Easy Christmas Decor project for my home. The best thing about spray paint? It makes changing up thrift store items a breeze!
Wow! It’s December first! I’m sure many of you already have all of your Christmas decorations well on their way. I don’t do a lot of decorating around here, and this is definitely early for me. I’m a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal and usually don’t put the tree up until absolutely necessary.
I’ve been saving this great pedestal platter for just the right project, and finally it is time for it’s makeover.
What a DEAL! $2 red platter!
TIP Before you spray paint, remember to remove any stickers and dirt from your project. If there are any rough places, be sure to sand, and wipe away any dust and dirt.
I used Krylon Modern White Super Maxx on this platter. It’s the perfect Christmas white. I sprayed several light coats with the platter upside down. After allowing it to dry, I turned it upright and sprayed several more light coats to get the perfect coverage with no drips.
TIP Raising your project up on saw horses makes spray painting so much easier.
Modern White is in the Restore palette.
See? The color is perfect! I love the new look of my $2 thrift store platter.
Christmas décor doesn’t have to be expensive. Using spray paint will easily change up your current pieces to make them perfect for the holidays! Use any Christmas items you have to decorate your new project. Candles and glass cups from the dollar store make this a very inexpensive upcycle.
Using Krylon’s Modern White made this project quick and easy and oh so pretty! What have you spray painted lately?

Great eye for shape Gail! You'll find lots of uses for that platter and when you're done, feel free to ship it to me! LOL Love the paint colors in the Krylon collection.
What a pretty white, and perfect for Christmas! Last thing I spray painted were some hooks... yesterday. ?
Krylon’s Modern White is a new-to-me color! will have to check it out. last thing i spray painted was 2 frames i got at the thrift store for $1.00 each. they were a "weird to me" yellow color, but now they are a oil rubbed bronze color.
It is funny that you wrote about this today. I bought some stars at a second hand store that are truly ugly. I went and bought some Krylon silver paint and they are waiting to be beautiful. I love Krylon and it is amazing what a little paint can do.
As usual, you remind me that I'm surrounded by amazing pieces that just need to be reimagined! Spray paint is one of life's little joys - here's to Modern White as the perfect season neutral base...you'll be able to use this any time of year.
