White pears are becoming very popular in home decor especially if you like vintage,cottage or french country.
I have been experimenting with making some white pears for my shop on etsy.
Southern touches will soon have the bottom pic listed and they are stark white pears upcycled from vintage pears that have a natural stem look and rustic white coated paper mache outer layers.
I first put three layers of torn white paper over vintage plastic pears and dried 24 hrs. Then I gave them 3 coats of stark white acrylic craft paint and let dry in between coats. Using fine steel wool I gave them a brushing all over thinning in random spots.
I think they turned out nicely for a small bowl or basket display.
