Pottery Barn knock-off ornaments

December 13, 2014

Pottery Barn Knock off globe ornamenents pin

I saw this globe at Pottery Barn, and kind of fell in love with it. So, when I was re-decorating my tree AGAIN,   I knew I wanted to incorporate  that style on my tree. Instead of having my globe on an axis,  I decided to distinguish it by adding longitude and latitude lines. I absolutely  LOVE the way they turned out, and for $1.00 a piece, you  just can’t beat that!

Supplies Used:

  • Sand Paper
  • Black Flat  Spray Paint
  • White “Prisma-color” or chalk pencil
  • Metallic Markers or/ paint and paint brush
  • Flat top coat or hairspray works too!
  • Large Bulb Ornaments

 I purchased the larger bulbs at the Dollar Tree!  The smaller ones, were I am guessing a  Michaels purchase.  I began by  using a sponge sanding block, and scuffed up the bulbs surfaces  just enough to create a dull surface.  I then wiped off the dust, and used a “flat” black spray paint.  (Use as directed. )

 Spray paint large bulb sawdust2stitches ss   Once dried, I  got to work on my longitude lines.   I  used a thin stick, and place it in hole of the ornament.  I then used a small length of string and tied it to the dowel rod.  I then tied a white  colored pencil ( I have found that only Prisma Color work well.) to the string.  Holding the string taught I traced around the outside of the globe using the sting as a guide. Repeat this process as many times as needed.

At this point,  I don’t want my lines to fade, so I would suggest  spraying it with a Matte finishing spray,  or even  hairspray! It will act as a fixative , and prevent the pencil from smudging. globe ornament sawdust2stitches Once the fixative dries,  I started the lettering.  I free-handed mine,  but  you can also use a silhouette/cricut/ or  tracing paper, in order to transfer the design. dsadsad After I  had created a basic outline,  I used metallic permanent Sharpie markers to darken the lettering!  SharpeesAnd that is all there is to it!  Imagine all the possibilities!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still organizing the kitchen, but so far I have fit all the contents from the existing pantry AND freed up an entire lower and upper cabinet that contained pantry items.  #winning
Would you believe me if I told you that where this Would you believe me if I told you that where this beautiful custom-built pantry sits, used to be a small builder grade closet? Talk about untapped potential!? While the closet/pantry served its purpose, the space was not well utilized and was altogether unremarkable. With the help of The Home Depot this pantry is not only extremely functional it is a gorgeous feature in my kitchen. 
Sometimes we might look past or forget the untapped potential and resources. 
For example, did you know The Home Depot has a TON of resources to help you with your projects?  Did you know that you can do image search in their mobile app? Yup! Just take a picture of the needed item scan it on your app and find the product in a flash! In fact you  can add it right to your cart and have it ready to be picked up at available stores or lockers!

Have big plans? (Swipe to see the before.) I deci Have big plans? 
(Swipe to see the before.)
I decided that our little closet/pantry needed a little bit of help. I have big plans for a huge custom build, but first some walls needed to come down! 
A project of this size means a hefty supply run. Normally, I need my husband to make a trip to 
The Home Depot to help me load ¾” plywood. Not anymore! Did you know that many Home 
Depot stores offer curbside pickup? That means I can order my BIG (and small) orders online 
or in their app and have my order pulled, and ready for a curbside pickup.
