Party Animal Cake Toppers

These DIY gold animal birthday candles from "The Sweetest Occasion" are so incredibly easy to make and perfect for party animals of all ages! (I love the squirrel!)

Supplies -
  • plastic animals
  • plastic candle holders
  • drill with 1/8″ drill bit
  • pliers
  • gold spray paint
1. You can use any type of plastic toy animal, it is recommended to use animals with flat backs in order to keep the candle holder steady.
2. Using pliers to hold the animal in place drill a hole into it's back, it only needs to be big enough to hold the candle holder. Make sure you do not drill through the other side!
3. Using metallic spray paint spray all of the sides of the animal evenly. With metallics you do not need to use a primer, but if you want to use different color varieties a primer is necessary.
4. Spray paint the candle holders and once dry place inside the drilled hole.
and ta-da..now it's time to celebrate!
