DIY: Gold Metallic Figurines

DIY: gold Metallic Figurines. I'm sure you've seen all the spray painted animals going around the web.  I love the idea especially because I'm slightly obsessed with Jonathan Alder's shiny gold figurines.  This project is really easy and fast.  Just spray and dry, and before you know it you'll have new table toppers or shelf props for only $5.

Supplies:

protective paper like newspaper or butcher paper

plastic toy animals (you can purchase from any craft store)

white primer spray paint

gold metallic spray paint

clear glaze spray paint

 As you can see, I had a little helper!  After protecting your work space with paper, spray your the toys with white primer and let it dry for 10 mins.  This will help the gold metallic spray be brighter and more brilliant   Once they are dry, spray with the gold metallic spray paint.  Let it drive.  Then finish it off with clear glaze spray paint so it's really shiny!

Once it's completely dry, display on a book shelf or table.  These are also good as party props or glue to the top of jars.  The possibilities are endless.
