Metallic Spray Paint on Fallen Leaves Inspired This Winter Wreath

While repainting a wreath, I noticed that the overspray had coated some fallen leaves beneath it. I liked their metallic finish and used the leaves in the seasonal decoration.

Reuse the wreath and gathered materials

The wreath had been green the previous Christmas and had worn other colors before that. This time, I chose Krylon Metallic paint. I also had pinecones from the yard available for decorating.

The new metallic finish

The accident happened because I had sprayed over leaves rather than using a drop cloth. The decorated wreath became part of a different winter mantel arrangement.

A similar wreath I found afterward

After making mine, I noticed a silver magnolia wreath at Z Gallerie. The listing at the time described a 28-inch wreath priced at $59.99. It was a comparison I found after the project, rather than the source of the original idea.

For another color this reused wreath has worn, see the Deep Plum Halloween version. The rustic fall mantel ideas use branches and other textured materials.
