It's official. I need an unlimited supply of cheap plastic dinosaurs. There are countless awesome projects out there using them as the staple supply and before I ever manage to complete a single DIY, I find another I want to get my hands on! Well - no surprise, this neon dino garland (link) is no exception. Just check out those stung up beauts!

Isn't it awesome? And oh so simple! Just get some dinosaurs, spray paint them, screw in some little eye hooks and sting 'em up! Voila! Perfection!
As another note - I totally love that candle holder turned cake stand/washi holder in that picture (oh and the mason jar full of a rainbow of warm pencils)! I'd love to find a few unloved candle sticks (of varying sizes) and turn them into a great craft booth display! Oh! So much inspiration! Eek! What do you think? Anyone have a reliable Victoria source for cheap plastic dinosaurs?

the kamloops dollar store has plenty!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much yearn for a dollarama here every single day!
DeleteThis looks like zip lining dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteI bet you the Fan Tan Alley Co store has them!
ReplyDeleteGood idea Caroline! Next time I head downtown I'll be sure to check it out!
DeleteOh my god I LOVE these. Am now thinking about what else could be done with them! Jen x
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I recently brought a bag of dinos from the Reject Shop (it's kinda like a dollar store here in Australia) so now all I need is some neon spray paints! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI don't have a cheap source. But check out my Pinnieasaurus on my blog for another dino-mite idea. If I do find a cheap source I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteJana - you're right! That is one Dino-mite idea! Love her!
DeleteI NEED this in my life! I'm obsessed with dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteWhat paint do you recommend for spraying them?
If you were UK based, I know a wholesalers where you can get loads of plastic dinosaurs. I'm a teacher and we're studying dinosaurs next year... That's my excuse for knowing this!. Maybe there's somewhere similar stateside.

Becky, if you check out a spray paint isle in a hardware store you'll find brands that are made to bond to plastic. In my very limited spray painting experience, this is the way to go! Hope that helps!
DeleteBetter start booking some dentist's appointments so you can build up your stock!
