While recently browsing the toy aisle at Dollar Tree, I spotted a fun “Expand-a-Ball” toy that instantly sparked a DIY idea. This expandable ball has great potential, and I’m excited to transform it into a unique and affordable home decor piece.
This will be a quick and easy makeover! For this project, I’ll be using black and gold spray paint to give the Expand-a-Ball a chic, decorative look.
To get started, hang the Expand-a-Ball in an open, expanded position. Once it’s fully expanded, use black spray paint to cover the entire surface evenly. This base coat will give it a bold, modern look and help the gold accents pop in the next step. Let the paint dry completely before moving on.
After the black spray paint has fully dried, it’s time to add a layer of gold spray paint. Lightly spray the gold paint over the ball to create a subtle, metallic effect. You can focus on certain areas or give it a gentle mist for an even look. This gold layer will add dimension and a touch of elegance to your decor piece. Let the ball dry completely before displaying it.
Your brain is always thinking, I would have only seen the ball toy. Looks great !
