With all of the whirling activity of Christmas coming to end, I felt the need to craft one more frivolous celebratory thing.
Gold and Silver animals to put in New Years’ Crackers!
I just hand painted silver and gold acrylic paint on some cheap plastic animals that we already had. Then after the coats dried, I brushed on some glitter glue to make them sparkle.
Even though my nose is so incredibly congested and I feel like something scraped off the bottom of a shoe, I wanted to break up the monotony of blowing my nose 4000 times, with a productive activity.
This was the perfect low-energy/ high yield craft.
The hippo is my favorite. He is so pretty.
I love looking at them all. It amazes me how a simple coat of paint can transform these cheap plastic toys into something quite festive.
I can’t decide which ones I like better, the Silver or the Gold.
Will you make a craft to ring in this New Year?
Anyone else fighting colds or flus right now?
Have a safe and sparkly New Year’s Eve!
