Plastic Animal Ornaments

In October I purchased some plastic farm animal toys.

First I drilled tiny holes in their backs to insert an eye hook.  Since the animals are hollow I put just a very tiny amount of gorilla glue on the hook before screwing into the hole.  Gorilla glue expands so you don't want to much and try to wipe off any excess.  Then I spray painted them oil rubbed bronze and aged copper.

  1. Super idea! I've just been cleaning out my kids toys (they are in college) and I think I will surprise them by upcycling their farm animal collection into tree ornaments!!! To funny!
