Freelance Friday: DIY Animal Bookends



Oh happy day, its Friday! The weekend is here and before you get swept up in running errands, cleaning, or preparing for your Super Bowl party, we want to share with you a great weekend project your kids can make. Cassie from Hi Sugarplum created these DIY Animal Bookends. How cute are they? Cassie made this project using a mixture of duct tape and FolkArt paints. This is such a creative idea, and we’re absolutely in love with it. To see how you and your kids can create these bookends click here.
