transforming lily of nile to festive christmas decoration

Some people are very artistic and creative, able to think out of the box and use everyday object to create something special. I went vey recently to a little Christmas Bazaar organized by a group of friends who like to create objet d’art and Christmassy things to eat. There I spotted these dried flowers – Lily of Nile – and their transformation was just amazing. These ones had been spray painted with silver and black and then a layer of glitter added on top.

A simple, yet very effective way to add some seasonal sparkle! And if you try this at home just use your imagination with the colours – I saw red, green, blue flowers and they all looked great. I am thinking that these flowers will be my centrepiece in the next dinner party..

Beautiful, delicate details
