Party Animals

Here is a great diy for party's.  



Supplies -
  • plastic animals
  • plastic candle holders
  • drill with 1/8″ drill bit
  • pliers
  • gold spray paint

 For the plastic animals, you can use any kind you can find. Keep in mind the size of the cake or cupcake you are sticking it on. 


 Hold the animal with the pliers and drill a hole straight down, being careful not to pop out the other side. The hole just has to be deep enough for the holder to fit.


Check to see if the candle holder fits.



 Spray paint the animals in a few light coats, rotating them to cover all sides. Note: I used gold (w/o primer) and it worked fine for both the nicer plastic animals and the dollar store ones. I wanted a pop of color but some of the animals didn’t take to regular spray paint, be sure to use a plastic spray paint or a primer for plastic and always test one first.



 Paint the candle holders to match. Let dry.

ROooaAAR!
