Dolly pots - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Dolly pots

This was super fun for my 8 yr old you can use all sorts of old toys

Material

A old plastic/rubber toy ( or buy a cheap one from $2 shop )
Spray paint Colour of your choice
Spray on sealer (Clear) ... Adult use
Stanly knife *adult use
Blutac / Putty (Non toxic) ... Can use kids non toxic blutac

Method

Carefully cut a round opening at the top of the doll's head
*if you would like to protect any part ie' eyes ect cover the area with blutac
Spray paint the doll in a well ventalated area and allow to dry
Seal with the sealing spray and allow to dry
Fill and cracks and joints on the inside with blutac or putty, if the opening is large enough I seal the neck joint compleatly.
Allow 24 hrs to set
Fill the opening with potting mix & plant the succulent positioning to look like hair and enjoy watching your Dolly Pots head grow :)

Its so simple but very interesting idea, my daughter has many old dolls in our store room which she just not playing with any more, I can try this on any one of them.
