A few months back I bought a plastic toy pig figure thing at Michael's. (My best quality is my spot-on articulation. Lol, not.) I have absolutely no idea what posessed me to buy it or what my intentions were with the pig. I just picked it up and put it in my cart. And that was that.
Fast forward to now. I subscribe to the Blowup Blog where they have made super cute DIY home decor out of toy animals. Check this. Upon seeing this post, my reaction was obviously, "Man, I wish I thought of that first! Crafty bitches."
Instead of repeating their project, I decided to craft-attack my pig in a very Melissa manner: with glitter... duh.
Tralalala.
Now this glittery rein deer that I bought at Urban Outfitters 4 years ago has a friend!
Yes, the rein deer was supposed to be a Christmas ornament. But I'm Hannukah and it's not fair that I don't get to buy pretty ornaments! So I bought it for my bookshelf. If you don't like it, then you can go fly a kite!
On the other hand, you might want to postpone this craft for December, replace the green glitter with red or gold, and stick it on your Christmas tree. Boom! Ornament. That's a thing people do... right? I don't know about it because no one ever invites me to their tree decorating parties. That's a hint to some of my friends. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
(Also, does this count as festive/seasonal/holiday crafting? Cause I totally suck in that deptartment. I know I'm a few months early, but still... I gave you a *pretty* good idea.)
Supplies:
1. Paint brush from Michael's.
2. Modpodge from Michael's.
3. Glitter from Michael's.
4. Pig figurine from Michael's.
Step 1:
Paint the plastic pig with modpodge.
Step 2:
Pour glitter over the plastic pig.
Step 3:
Cover the glitter with modpodge to seal it.
How much glitter is too much glitter?
Tru dat, LiLo. Tru. Dat.

One can NEVER have too much glitter!

Hi, I love your blog, and this is a really great idea! I feel like I want to do this with old school McDonalds toys. I Wonder how long people could sit in my living room staring at them until someone said, "Hey, is that one of the Rescue Rangers decked out in glitter over there?"
I LOVE glittered animals!!! You are so fun!:)
