All Lacquered Up!
I always see people who have the most perfect animal statues in their homes and wish I could find those same ones. I love searching around stores for these statues, but most of the time I can't find ones that are the right size, the right color, or even the right animal. So I had this little idea for a quite some time, but let's be honest, I was super lazy and didn't really want to do it. I finally got the motivation to head to Michael's and pick up the whole 2 items I needed to make my own white lacquered animal statues. How easy is this!!
Step 3: When you spray paint them, take them to a well ventilated area. I took them outside, but make sure it's not a really windy day or you'll just spray paint the wind. Place animals a few inches apart from each other. Spray!! I used 2 coats to ensure a nice solid color. Make sure to get the under sides and in between the cracks.
Step 4: Let them dry for at least 30 mins. If you don't let them dry properly you'll get finger prints and smudges imbedded in the paint. I let mine dry outside for an hour then brought them inside.
Fin! So easy right! Since I know I can do these to smaller statues, can you imagine a bookshelf full of these cute little animals, in all shapes and sizes? So adorable & easy!
