I am finishing up getting out all of my Christmas decorations and just love this piece.
However, overtime the red foamy berries tend to break off and leave it
looking a little unfinished trashy worn. Is that the word I am looking for?
You know what I mean, but I have a solution.
This is what is looks like, see the broken berries where the white is exposed.
Another view, isn't the pine cone so pretty?
Red nail polish to the rescue! I picked out this red in my daughter's nail polish stash and it was
almost a perfect match, but it doesn't have to be...use what you have. I painted over all of
the broken berries and it worked like magic. It's looking brand new again, love it!
For now I have it on my sofa table behind the sofa in the family room.
I'm off to work in Chicago for a couple of days-
good idea! I usually cut those ones off! lol. I am a huge fan of this type with the pinecones and berries. I just think it's such a pretty display for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Andrea!
ReplyDeleteYou are so smart! I have berries that are chipped but never thought of using nail polish. Thanks for such a great idea!

Andrea, this is such a smart idea! I have the same broken type of broken berries and I keep angling them away from main focus. I will be touching them up with red nail polish for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the amazing tip!
