There's nothing like doing a spot of DIY on a rainy day. It has been so long since I last featured a DIY/lifestyle post and I have been trying to get back into the creative side of things. This has to be one of my most favourite mini projects I have ever done!
Things you will need:
- Plastic Toy Dinosaur
- Gold Nail Polish
- Paint Brush
- Pick a dinosaur of your choice, I chose this particular one so that I could stack my rings on the neck. As you can see, It's quite long so you can easily stack a few of your favourite rings. You can readily find these dinosaurs at a pound/dollar store.
- In a well-ventilated area, start painting the dinosaur. I used the actual nail polish brush but you can also choose to use a paint brush to make applying coats of nail polish quicker. I was able to get a good strong gold colour after atleast 5 coats, you need to make sure that you paint everything.
- Leave to dry, I left mine near a window for a whole day to let it properly air dry.
- Stack your favourite rings and place it on your dresser/bedside table or shelf.
What do you think of this rather cute DIY project, Will you be giving this a try?
That is such a cute idea - love it! I think I'd have to give mine a glitter polish layer too, for added bling! xx

ReplyDeleteThank you so much <3 xx
DeleteThis is such a fun DIY. I currently have a little bowl from Ikea for my rings and some of my jewelry. But it's a little messy to just dig around until you find the right piece. So need to try this!
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely! <3 It sure was! ^^ I was using the same! This dino though holds just the right amount of my rings, so it's way easier to see your faves! xx
DeleteThis is adorable! I bet this would cost a fortune in a shop haha :D xx
