DIY Wednesday: Faux metallic figurines


Today's project comes from the stylish DIY blog P.S. I Made This. If you though used toys were suitable only as subjects of three-part Pixar animated features, think again. Erica Domesek took an assortment of toys, gave them two coats of Krylon metallic paint and had herself a bunch of metallic accent pieces.

My favorite was the alligator.

Get the full tutorial here. Stop back next week for a tutorial of my own.
