Spray Paint for Elephants
Dec 13, 2011
I am so utterly charmed by this makeover from Kelley at Hello Boudreau! Here's the recipe:
Purchase two plastic animals from Target for $1 each. Spray paint them gold. Prop them up against your books. Bam. Instant classy bookends that cost you $4. Kelly says, "for all you know they could be 10 lbs of solid brass!" Ha! She plans to fasten them to L-shaped wood stands for even more heft. Oh man, these really make me smile. I think I'm going to do this today!

This is so funny. I have some of those very same animals in my closet waiting for me to do the exact same thing. Except I was thinking ORB or white.
Those look amazing in gold! WOW!
really awsome! when my boy is old enough to play with toys like these I WILL steel them from him and do the same :D
Cool!
The best is... they make noise! LOVE these! I might go home & steal my 4 year old's toys :)
Oooh...poke a small hole in the bottom of a foot and fill them with plaster and they might be heavy enough on their own to support some books.
It's awesome!!! Well I gonna try to paint my animal toys. lol
