Hey Guys!
Today i wanted to show you our special "My Little Pony" customs that we created from Mcdonalds happy meal toys. Remember, the materials and methods we use are totally optional. They may not be available to you, or you may not be able to use them. So, with that out of the way, here our are beautiful ponies!
Lotus Blossom and Golden Harvest turned out really good! We started by painting their bodies white with crafting paint. I like to paint the bodies with a solid color before painting the actual color i want it to be. Once the paint dries, you can paint the pony with other colors. Mix your colors to find the exact color of the pony you want to make. we repainted the eyes, made the cutie mark, and we used scissors to cut and switch the tails. I put Cra-Z-Loom bands around the tail to keep it together and Hot glued the tail in the hole. Finally, I used Sparkle Nail polish and Clear nail polish to give extra detail. Customs are so much fun, but here are some tips to ensure that you save money.
1. Don't customize something unless you have a double. That way, if you mess up, you haven't ruined your favorite toy ;-)
2. I've made it a rule only to customize cheap toys. Mcdonalds happy meal toys are good, but they can get pricey, so i like to get mcdonalds toys in a bag of 12 or more @ a yard sale or Goodwill my local thrift store :-)
3. If you are customizing something expensive, such as a Monster High doll or barbie, have a plan before you start. It's no fun when your $20 goes down the drain because you didn't plan ahead and ruined your doll.
