Why We Love It: Your kiddo loves those little rubbery figurines you find at craft stores, but you hate how they pile up. Now each one can have a special place on your child's wall with this sparkly and bright 3-D idea.

What You'll Need: Acrylic paint in nine bright colors, nine small canvasses in different depths and widths, nine rubber animal figurines, glitter, craft glue, hair spray and E-6000 adhesive.

How to DIY: Paint each canvas a different color. Next, glitter the animals by painting the parts of each one that will show when hung with craft glue and adding glitter. Wait at least an hour for them to dry before tapping off excess. Touch up any areas you may have missed. Then, spray with hair spray to ensure all the sparkle sticks. Finally, use a strong adhesive to mount one animal on each canvas.
