Here’s what supplies you will need to create your very own DIY Dinosaur Christmas ornaments!

You will need:

  1. Set Up Your Work Station: Set down a craft paper or newspaper that will collect any run off paint or glue and keep your table clean. Have your tools all ready to go.
  2. Tie Your String: Using a thin string cut into 4-5 inch pieces. Wrap your string around your animal to secure and tie a small bow or knot at the top to create a loop for hanging.
  3. Paint Your Animal: Create a wet base for the glitter to stick to using a similar color paint as the base coat. Make sure to brush all areas thoroughly so glitter will coat the whole animal.
  4. Sprinkle Glitter: While the paint is still wet and tacky – coat the entire animal with glitter, making sure to rotate from all sides.
  5. Let Dry: Let your animal ornaments dry fully for 24 hours before touching to let the glitter adhere. Pro tip: Use a touch of hair stray to secure the exterior of the glitter.
