Giraffe Trinket Dish $16 Wishbone Jewelry Dish $48 |
Well, since Anthropologie is non-existent here in Metro Manila (please come over -- pretty please?), I decided to make my own.
* white ceramic dish
Source: I got these tiny condiment plates from a bazaar ($2/8 pieces). They also sell these
at department stores. The cheaper, the better.
* animal figurine
Source: This one is from a baking supply store. I think they're cake toppers. ($1/pair)
*gold paint pen (Sharpie or Artline)
Source: National Bookstore
* instant glue (like Mighty Bond)
Source: National Bookstore or local hardware store
[1] Color your figurine entirely with gold pen. Make sure you get into the cracks as well.
[2] Once you finish, try out how it will look on your dish.
[3] I decided to put it near the corner. But don't glue it just yet. Draw in some
polka dots. Make it random just like the one below.
I tried using hole reinforcements as your stencils, then I colored them in. The problem
was that sometimes the color bled out, so some of my dots looked ugly.
I prefer using the Artline brand on the dish. I tried Sharpie, but the gold
color on the dish just wasn't gold enough.
[4] Secure the figurine with instant glue. Tada!
super cute, perfect for Easter too!
