Shop at Dollar Tree — Here’s What You’ll Need:
Easy Step-by-Step Directions:
- Paint the animals in a solid color that accents your color scheme — think unexpected colors like gold, silver, or hot pink.
- Place as the topper to a stack of books, alone on a shelf, line up on a mantel, sneak into potted plants or terrariums... basically you can add
them anywhere!
Fun Tips:
- Paint smaller, non-hollow animals and cut them in half. Glue magnets or thumbtacks to the back for cool fridge or corkboard decorations.
- Cut a small slit on the backs of painted animals to hold place cards for a dinner party or themed wedding, or use as a photo holder on your desk.
- Glue smaller animals to jar lids and paint both the same color for a cute upcycled storage idea.
- Drill small holes and add eyehooks to hang as ornaments or as a pendant from a necklace.
