Okay, maybe not "urchin".  Is coral considered a type of urchin?
...Just Googled it - they're not.
Okay, now that we're both a little smarter, (or in my case, less oblivious) let's talk about finding awesome items in unlikely places, namely: CORAL.
I love, love, love coral.  Especially bright shiny white coral.  You know, the fake/bleached kind.  Unfortunately my friends, the store-bought variety usually come with a hold-your-breath sort of price tag.  Ugh.
So what's a fashionably frugal gal supposed to do?  Make your own!
Enter Exhibit A: Pet store coral for fishies.  You know, the bright orange and neon green variety.  Bleck.  But no worries!  I have my trusty spray paint (you had to know that was coming...)!
A touch of primer and a few light coats of white and we're in business!
This faux coral came from a pet store for around $6.99. It's a good sized piece, and just what I'd been looking for!
