True Blue Me & You: Doable Unique DIYs

DIY Metallic Foil on Plastic Beetles Tutorial from A Matter of Style here. Metallic foil is much cheaper than gold leaf and I find easier to use. This is another technique to transform cheap plastic animals and other objects that may look better in some cases than spray paint (I’ve used both the gold foil and gold leaf on frames). This reminds me of the gold leaf transformed plastic honey bear bottles from A Beautiful Mess I posted here.
