Materials Needed To Make A DIY Animal Memo Holder
- Plastic animal
- Alligator clip
- 1/8 inch dowel rod
- Super glue
- Drill and 1/8 drill bit
- Spray paint (I used primer, paint, and gloss)
How To Make A DIY Animal Memo Holder
First, drill a hole into the top of your animal.
Then, squirt a little drop of super glue in the hole and insert the dowel rod. The rod should fit snug, if it doesn’t, your drill bit is too big.
Next, super glue an alligator clip to the tip of the dowel rod. Make sure to squeeze the edges of the clip tight around the rod.
If you’re animal has a shiny finish, it’s best to used spray primer before painting your color of choice. If it’s not, go ahead and spray paint it.
And then, seal it with a glossy finish if you’d like.
Now just add a memo, and you’re done!
