Paintbrush Ornaments

I recently created these paintbrush ornaments for a friend who loves to paint!  These were so fun to do!

I started with inexpensive paint brushes from Home Depot, and taped them off for painting.

I chose these colors for the handles and applied with a foam brush:

After this dried, I covered the wooden handles and taped off the brush areas and spray painted the metal section using Rust-oleum spray paints:
Heirloom white 
After the base coats were all applied, I painted on the snowman face and then finished by hot gluing embellishments from my craft stash.

Finally, I added coordinating ribbon to the handles so they can easily hang on the tree.

  2. Lori, these are so CUTE! They caught my eye right away over at SNS. I just saw a pack of chip brushes at Big Lots. I'm going to pick some up and give them to my daughters after showing them this post. One of my girls is artsy, I think she'll really run with this idea. ;)
