I tend toward neutrals but I decided for Summer, I'd do some more colorful things. When I found these wood llamas at Dollar Tree, they were perfect for my Summer vignette on our kitchen display shelves!
Supplies
- Wood Llamas (Dollar Tree)
- Acrylic Paint (I used Craft Smart from Michaels)
- Acrylic Paint Pens
- Pom Poms
These are the llamas I found at Dollar Tree. Laid out this way, they remind me of the "Pushmi Pullyu" from Dr. Doolittle. For several years as a child, that was my favorite toy. It had a pull string and talked! I took it everywhere with me.
I painted them white using Craft Smart Acrylic paint from Michaels. Then I got out my acrylic paint pens and just went to town freehand.
I pulled out a selection of colors and on one, did random dots, and on the other drew a "saddle" and decorated the legs.
I grabbed my stash of pom-poms and chose colors that coordinated with my llamas.
I went mostly with these that have little iridescent fibers poking out.
I'm tickled with how they turned out. I will also post a tutorial on the coffee filter flowers in the background. I had way too much fun with those!
