Just Paint It: Top Paint Projects of 2012

It’s unbelievable that this year is nearly finished, isn’t it? Amazing. One lovely thing about blogging is the record that’s created.

When I wonder where the time goes, I only have to look at my blog posts to see where I spent a huge chunk of my life. Happily so, I might add.

These are the top 10 posts that received the most traffic. A few surprised me, actually.

#10 – Create Chalkboard from Mirror

Like this Memory Chalkboard I created from a cheapo mirror for my grandson. I’m happy to say Santino is still drawing on it and no sign of the original mirror peaking through.

#9 – Faux Stone Platter

This Faux Stone Platter from the dollar store was another surprise. Who knew sponge painting a simple plastic platter could interest thousands of people?

#8 - Louboutin Black High Heels

Of course, I’m always happy when anyone likes my paint projects but especially my “babies”, paintings I’ve spent a lot of time creating, like the Louboutin black high heels I painted for my niece.

#7 – Dipdot Lilacs

Although, I gotta admit I’m thrilled that people enjoyed my “dipdot” lilac painting too, which take only a few minutes to paint.

#6 – “Faux” Alabaster Eggs

These Faux Alabaster Eggs looked more like foil-wrapped chocolate yet they still made the top ten. You just never know, I guess.

#5 – Spraypaint Burlap Pillow

The 5th top paint project of the year involved spray paint, the dollar store, burlap and a pillow. Pretty hard to go wrong there.

#4 – Halloween Décor from the Dollar Store

Another favorite was from the dollar store. Are you beginning to see a trend here?

#3 – Mod Podge Craft Organizing

While this post didn’t technically include paint, I did “paint” the Mod Podge onto old boxes. That counts, right?

#2 – Easy Faux Stained Glass Window

One of my favorite things to do is to try out new products, like the glass stains for this faux stained glass window. I can’t wait to make something for spring with the stains.

And finally, the paint project that got the most hits of all in 2012 . . .
