Dinosaur storage jar lids
Instructions:
Step 1: Paint a thin layer of Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer over the outside of the jar lid and your plastic toy and leave it to dry.
Step 2: Glue the dinosaurs' feet to the lid and then set aside until the glue is set.
Step 3: Paint the outside of the lid and the dinosaur with your choice of Resene paint colours. Depending on the colour, you may need to do two coats.
Hint: Use the jars to store drawing pins or art supplies.
Decorative pinboard
Instructions:
Step 1: Carefully tape your stencils in place with masking tape, so they don't move.
Step 2: Paint over the stencil with the Resene paint of your choice.
Hint: For a crisper result, use the pencil to draw around the dinosaur stencil and then use an artist's brush to paint it in. You can also add a few dots in a contrasting colour.
