Recolored Decorative Orbs

I found these orbs at the local thrift store.  They have a plastic outer skin and were burnt orange.  I decided to paint them for Spring.  The first thing I did was use Krylon White Primer and then I chose basic primary color craft paints and mixed them to my liking to achieve an aqua and teal.  I used a basic tan on one, silver leafed one and the two open weave orbs were red glittery Christmas orb ornaments I picked up for .10 at Walmart on clearance. They came out rather well after I chose to use my Cricut to cut vinyl stencils so the white primer showed through in the background of some of them.  I think the silver leafed orb was my favorite.
