I was browsing an Accessorize store the other day and came across my most ideal earrings. Little metal cats with diamante collars. Trouble is the cat is pink and I'm not really a pink girl. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how I could do a colour change on them?
Would it be as simple as painting over them with metal paint (as in the stuff used for car metal work touch up)?
I had a look through the memories but I've never tackled anything like this before and as the earrings are expensive for poor little student me I don't want to screw them up.
