Almost every DIY project I make comes from the Dollarama, which is hilarious cause you'd never think you could get such awesome stuff from a dollar store!? I call these my "little minions". I bought them for $1.25 each. They're made of ceramic and are on a painted wood stand from Michaels which was like a $1.00 or 2. If you wanna make your own, read below for directions to do so. It's super easy, you just need a little creative talent.
Items Needed:
- Ceramic Figurine - Dollarama or Michaels - $1.00-2.00 each
- Wood Plaque Base - Michaels - $1.00-2.00
- Paint - Bottle or Tubes - Dollarama, Walmart or Michaels - $1.00-3.00 each
- Modge Podge - Michaels - $4.00-6.00

- Silver Marker or Pen - Michaels, WalMart or Dollarama - $1.00-2.00
- Hot Glue Gun - Michaels, WalMart - $3.00 - $6.00
Directions:
- Paint the figurine and wood plaque whichever color you wish and let dry for 10-15 minutes.
- Apply a thin layer of modge podge using a paintbrush or sponge applicator all over the figure and wood plaque. Let dry for 10-15 minutes.
- Paint designs on the figurine using a thin paintbrush or paint pen. Let dry for 10-15 minutes.
- Apply a final layer of thin modge podge to the figure and let dry at least 20 minutes.
- Using the hot glue gun, glue the base of the figure to the wood plaque. Press lightly but firm for about 30 seconds. Let dry and then display where desired.
