Christmas in August or art project gone bad?  Both.

Several years ago I bought these ornaments on clearance mail order for like $0.10.  They weren't in good shape.  So a few months later I bought a can of glitter spray paint.  And they both sat for a few more years.

Finally decided to paint them, nice dry weather.  Except they didn't turn out very good.  So marched the whole mess to the alley garbage can.

Moral of the story?  Sometimes even $0.10 isn't a good deal.  Spending more to salvage a project isn't always wise.  If it takes a few years to get to something, maybe it should go to the trash before investing more time.  And things are rarely as easy as they seem.
