The Sweetest Occasion has come up with such a cute idea and it's so easy we can't believe we haven't seen anyone else do this before! We can see these being in ANY color. Having a princess party? Make them pink with glitter! A dino party for a little boy? Make them blue and you could even hand stencil their age on them!
Supplies -
- plastic animals
- plastic candle holders
- drill with 1/8″ drill bit
- pliers
- gold spray paint
For the plastic animals, you can use any kind you can find. Keep in
mind the size of the cake or cupcake you are sticking it on. I used the
animals with a flat back, so it is easier to stick in the candle holder.
Hold the animal with the pliers and drill a hole straight down, being
careful not to pop out the other side. The hole just has to be deep
enough for the holder to fit.
Spray paint the animals in a few light coats, rotating them to cover
all sides. Note: I used gold (w/o primer) and it worked fine for both
the nicer plastic animals and the dollar store ones. I wanted a pop of
color but some of the animals didn’t take to regular spray paint, be
sure to use a plastic spray paint or a primer for plastic and always
test one first.
I also painted the candle holders to match. Let dry.
That’s it. Party on like an animal! Rawr.
