DIY: Dino Ring Holder





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!
I adore jenni from ISpyDiy (my inspiration) I saw that she did a tutorial for a Dino Ring Holder and I just loved how unique and quirky it looked so I attempted it. I am so pleased with the results. I really wanted to share this with you all, this simple DIY project is as easy as 123. It looks so Pinterest-esque too!

 Things you will need:
  • Plastic Toy Dinosaur
  • Gold Nail Polish
  • Paint Brush
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Leave to dry, I left mine near a window for a whole day to let it properly air dry.
  4. Stack your favourite rings and place it on your dresser/bedside table or shelf.
And there you have it! Such an inexpensive way to create a neat ring holder that will definitely get everyone talking! 
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

    This 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!
