Jurassic Gold

A while ago I discovered DIY spray paint animals on Pinterest, they were so cool! Why didn't I think of that? I took one of the best pictures there as an example and created the golden hippo.

As seen above he now guards my desk very convincingly.
After discovering some more examples, I decided it was time for mr. Hippo to have some company.

They are fun, real movie celebrities and form the perfect team to decorate your home.
What steps have I taken?
1. Clean them with warm water and St. Mark to prep them
2. Cover your workspace with plenty of paper or plastic
3. Give them two thin layers of spray paint, of course you can use any color you like
4. Decorate specific parts with glitter, you do this after the spray paint is completely dry. Add some blank nailpolish on the part you want to glitter, sprinkle enough glitter on to cover all the nailpolish and tap of the excess.

That's it!

I really like the result even though it's such an easy and low budget DIY project. You can find these plastic toy animals in a regular toy store but you could even look for them in second hand shops and buy the spray paint in a dollar store. It really is that easy.

Have fun making them!
