   Great idea! I wonder if they have horses? I want to do a Horseback Riding party for my daughter’s upcoming birthday.

   My friend did a circus party theme with the plastic animals and she used Pom Pom’s to put on them dress them up with fabric and use cookie tins to put them on top and decorated the tins with gold rope and color fabric she made tu tus skirt for some it took a lot of effort but so writhed made banner with different colors of fabric all from stuff at .99 cents store or king dollar

    So cool! I’ve also seen where you take a knife and carve a hole out in the middle of the plastic animals back (they are hollow) and after spray painting plant a real (or use fake) succulent for a beat looking indoor plant/planter!

    For my sisters bridal shower centerpieces, we grabbed everyone’s empty wine bottles and spray painted them silver. Put a couple white flowers and an array at each table.

    Thanks for spray paint idea. Saw similar projects on Pinterest with figurines on baby food jars n with Easter decor. Gave me idea to spray paint vases/wine bottles/soda bottles for masquerade party. Stick masks n feathers inside.

    I saw somewhere where they drilled a hole through the body of the plastic animal and used it as a kid’s toothbrush holder.

    Hi,

    I tried this and my spray paint didn’t dry well. Almost after 3 months, it is still sticky. Any idea?
