Today I am excited to show you a way to knock off an expensive wall art item by using paint and giant plastic scissors from the Dollar Tree.

| Sold by Through the Country DoorMy inspiration for this project came from Through the Country Door. I was looking for school themed wall decor to decorate the family workspace I am putting together. I started with a giant pair of plastic scissors found in the toy section at the Dollar Tree. I primed it with inexpensive white spray paint. |
Then I taped off the scissors and spray painted the blades with Krylon’s Silver Metallic Paint. After it dried I moved the tape and spray painted the handles with Krylon Black paint.
To make the blades look more realistic, I brushed on Deco Art’s Crafter’s Acrylic Paint in black and wiped it off.
This is the technique I used to make my faux silver bowl. I think it makes the silver paint go from looking cheap to looking like real metal. I love this finish!
And there you have it: awesome scissor wall art for a few dollars!
