What you will need:
- Animal figures
- Wooden blocks
- Spray paint
- Super glue
Steps:
1. Start by choosing which animal figures you'll want to create the bookends, you'll need two.
2. Set up your working space by laying on some old newspaper sheets on a table to avoid any mess.
3. Clean the wooden blocks and animal figures with a dry cloth, and make sure that the base of the animal figure fits on the wooden block space.
4. Spray paint the animal figures and wooden blocks fully with the color of your choice, and leave to dry.
5. Lay the wooden blocks on the table, and using the super glue, fix the animal figures on top of each of them. The best way, is to dab the super glue on the animal's feet.
6. Hold the animal figure in place with your fingers for a couple of moments to make sure it stays in place, then leave to dry for a couple of hours.
7. Your animal figure bookends are now ready to decorate your shelves and hold your favorite books!
