Fridge Chic: DIY Gold Animal Magnets

diy animal fridge magnets

A while back, my little DIY group & I made the most adorbs critter dishes. The project called for plastic animals, which are typically sold in bulk. Considering each of us made 1-3 dishes, I was left with about 25 extra critters.

What the hell am I going to do with 25 plastic kiddy animals? Give them all the Midas touch, naturally. Once something get’s dipped in gold, it is automatically 20x cooler.

Yet I was still left w/ 25 GOLD plastic animals. One golden hippo on the coffee table = tres chic, 25 of them = borderline hoarder. I was handing them out as parting gifts to anyone who came over, but couldn’t seem to unload them all. They were stored away until I found a use for them.

Low & behold, moving into my new house, I finally found a use for them- sexy little fridge magnets!! I am obsessed.

P.S. They would also make for a rad gift :).
