Spray Painted Pip Berries
{Pip Berry Addiction}
It’s true. I love these little berries. Whenever I see them anywhere, I want to buy, whatever they are around, or adorning… it’s a problem.
I’m getting better, but it’s a hard habit to break… Just like me and tin stars. I LOVE THEM!? Why?
I only have ONE star in my whole house… right now. I used to have one around every corner.
Berries and stars are a little more… rustic/primitive country. Which is what I USED to have goin’ on.
I can get over the “star” thing. But these berries… I feel like can go with ANY style ???
( just nod and tell me I’m right ) lol.
Anyway, I found this huge bunch of gold and brown pip berry garland at my local consignment store for only $4.00, so I caved and bought it. lol.
I DID have plans though.
I spray painted a few sprigs with Ivy Green (which is a pretty good green!)
and put them in my “bloom” trough, that I had.
I like it… It gives a bit of whimsy to the “girly” spring decor. lol.
I think I want to spray the rest a light pink and put them in the babies room, in a cute milk glass vase of some sort… but…
I’m having issues finding a really LIGHT pink spray paint!
The one I have now, says it’s “soft” pink… but it turns this weird.. blahhk color!?

ps. Is there anything that a can o’ “SP” CAN’T fix???

Krylon Ballet Slipper, the only place I can find it is walmart. (Plus it has the easy to spray thing I mentioned before.)

I love those berries. I never knew that they had a name! Next time you find some-think of me!
Tausha says
ps-no, pretty sure spray paint is the bomb! I would spray my children-they just wont stay still long enough!!!

Walmart has a can of pink spray paint that I used for wall shelves in my daughter's room. We're moving though, so I couldn't put them up after all those coats of pink. I think I'm going to buy this corner shelving unit 4.bp.blogspot.com/_TOlMG2yg_78/S6w7q_zSdyI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/8XqDnrzgx98/s1600/SDC14312.JPG and spray-paint it pink instead. Or perhaps I'll go with white. ANYWAY, walmart has some light pink Krylon spray that I like.

I have used both Krylon Ballet slipper and Krylon Fusion Fairytale pink and the latter is lighter and softer.

They look great! I love those flower balls (I don't know the proper name for them!) I read your tutorial on how to make them the other day and I added it to my ever growing to do list!

Oh, I just love your blog! I've made the flower balls…LOVE THEM! And I have a bunch of those berries that I have been trying to figure out what to do…the colors don't match like I thought they would…HELLO, spray paint! LOL! Thanks for all the great ideas!

Denissa says
love the pip berries too, and you know I have the star addiction! I don't think that I could change the decor in my house b/c I couldn't live w/out the stars!! lol 🙂

i like how it brings out the green knobs….
and i love stars, i don't think i'll ever get over them…and i can't b/c i have one tattooed on my foot, so i'm kinda stuck with the loving stars… 🙂

I love the berrys…..but didnt know what they were called. I have a pink Valspar Brand – Cameo Pink – from Lowes that I just love. Funny how spray paint works. You get out the can, paint something, then start looking around for anything else that you can paint….lol I LOVE stars too, but painted the right color they dont look country at all.
