I bought these white plastic frames at the Dollar Tree the other day. They were too white and "plasticy" (is that a word? I guess it is now!) for my taste so I sprayed them with black spray paint. That ended very badly. The paint bubbled up and looked horrible. I tried to glue twine to one (the letter G - you can still see the remains of the glue and twine hair) which was equally disastrous. I finally went and bought some of the Krylon Fusion spray paint made specifially for plastic. I got one witha kind of a sandstone texture and a touch of sparkle. It turned out well - but I will say that the paint was a bit of a pain to use. The nozzle kept getting clogged and I had to keep taking it off. I finally did get this all put together, and except for needing to get a new frame for the letter G, I like it! I think I will change it out for every season - I never realized before that every season has 6 letters - that works out very nicely! Without further ado, here is Spring:
