Originally I was going for a violet/silver paint color, but the people that I was making presents for are older--in their 30's and 50's. So I thought it would be better to try a gold and black design.
I butchered my plastic toy animals--Not a nice sight for two toddlers--cutting the toy heads right in front of my girls. I probably looked like an animal-hater (I'm not).
I did some hammering but ended up using screws instead of nails.
Next I gift wrapped the elephant and rhino hooks for my husband's parents and grandparents.
To finish it off, I used super glue because the glue gun was not working properly.
This elephant head project looked better in my apartment so I ended up keeping it.
The wood I used is better than the Michaels wooden plate. I placed some gold hooks on the piece of wood to turn them into key holders. (Hooks not pictured) The bottom photo is my favorite. I wrapped it as a Birthday/Christmas gift for my Dad.
