Children’s plastic animal toys are old and dirty, and it feels a pity to throw them away. As long as you prepare spray paint and glue, you can transform these plastic animals that were just beautiful to look at into something practical and cool! The following 14 special handmade crafts will make your home feel like a mini zoo anytime, anywhere!
1) Animal-shaped plastic cup handles
As long as the same plastic cup is painted with a uniform color and glued with cute plastic animals, you can easily distinguish the owner of the cup and it will become easier to hold!
2) Animal head coat rack
Nowadays, there are a lot of gashapon that only have the shape of a specimen head. It seems that they can also be made into a coat rack like this. Some of them are even painted very delicately and do not require additional coloring.
3) Animal bust necklace holder
Turning these little animals into a shelf for you to keep your necklaces is very interesting, just like animals also like to wear beautiful necklaces. You can also use unnecessary nail polish to color them, making the best use of them.
4) Animal shaped magnets
Add magnets to the front and back of the animal. You can stick it on the refrigerator to avoid forgetting it. Put the upper body and lower body together and it becomes another kind of business card holder, or a standing note paper holder. Cute animals are important to people. It’s hard not to pay attention.
5) Animal Bookends
The larger animals are glued to the wooden blocks and painted with uniform colors to become bookends. If the books sandwiched in the middle are all about wild animals, dinosaur illustrations and the like, it would be a perfect match~
6) Mini vase
This vase may need to use a hollow animal toy. After ruthlessly cutting off the head, it can be used as a mini version of the vase.
7) Animal pendants
First drill the animals into the hanging rings, and then tie them with cotton threads to replace the pennants that were often seen on the wall in the past, making the venue more lively.
8) Cake decorations
The cake I made by myself is missing some decorations, so I use these small animals as decorations, which actually looks pretty good!
9) Mini flowerpot
Similar to item 6, plant succulents that are not easy to die and add a little greenery while decorating the animals with cuteness.
10) Animal shaped gold necklace
If you can’t find a necklace you like, then make it yourself! You can customize any animal or color you want, and you can bring 10 of them at a time, no problem!
11) Animal-shaped storage jar
The lid is too tight and difficult to open. It’s no problem to stick small animal-shaped toys on it. You can also classify the piggy’s for change, the lamb’s for banknotes, the pony’s for invoices, and the goose’s for stationery.
12) Cat Butt Ring Holder
The cat’s butt itself is very cute, and the long and upright tail is just the right size to fit into a ring, and the golden color at the end of the tail is the finishing touch!
13) Animal drawer handle
14) Tyrannosaurus high heels
You can’t buy super cool Tyrannosaurus high heels anywhere. If you are more dexterous, you can even wear Brontosaurus, Triceratops, Grass Mud Horse and the like...
