Make a colorful and playful collage of artwork for your baby’s nursery using canvases and plastic animals. This funky and adorable DIY decor can be customized to coordinate with any color scheme. Both boys and girls alike will love mini animal canvases adorning their nursery walls.
Materials:
- Plastic animals
- 5x5-inch canvases
- Heat knife or utility knife
- Super glue
- Acrylic paint
Step One: Begin by cutting your animals. To cut them in half, a heat knife works best, but you also can do it with a sharp utility knife.
Step Two: Paint your animals and canvases with acrylic paint. The animals may require about three coats, and the canvases need about two coats. To make this step go faster, use a hair dryer in between coats to reduce drying time! This is where you can get fun and creative: Use boyish colors, light pastels for girls or even neons. Anything goes!
Step Three: Once everything is dry, use a small bead of super glue to attach the animals to the center of the canvases. Hang and enjoy!
