Rawr! These mighty dinos are ready to decorate the tree!

Gather your favorite paints, brushes, Mod Podge and embellishments along with some plain dinosaur ornaments.  I found these dinos at the dollar store--10 for $1.  Decorate them with your favorite techniques.  Some ideas are sponge painting, Mod Podged paper with gems, and a coat or two of Extreme Glitter.  Use Podge to attach a wiggle eye.  A scrap of ribbon or old sweater cut into strips makes a great scarf.

Don't forget your name and date on the back.  That's always fun to see year after year.

Bakers twine fits neatly through the hole so you can hang it up.  Maybe I should rename this post to "dazzling dinos!"
