Spray-painted animals

After 10 months maternity leave and a Little One who needs nappies, food and a Jumperoo (!), money has been pretty tight, and so I've turned to making a few things for the house, instead of buying them. 

My favourite so far has to be my spray-painted animals. They look expensive-ish, are cheap and easy to make.

You can find some cheap animal toys (or whatever takes your fancy!) in any pound shop, or children's toy shop, spray paint isn't always cheap (can be £10 or thereabouts) but lasts a long time, and I'm sure most people have an old sheet they use for crafts/painting and decorating.

I normally wait for a dry day, take the sheet outside and spray away. They normally need a few coats to look good, but if you're at home, you can pop out every hour or so, turn them over and give them a little top up. 

It really is that simple.

Fancy giving them a go?
