I saw a great idea on Craftgossip.com (a super source for ideas!) using the front end of plastic animals as hooks. I bought some dinosaurs from the dollar tree, but they were hollow. You need to use solid figurines. I found some plastic horses on ETSY, Perennialcrafts. They are great. After cutting them in half, I added double ended screws I found at Lowe's and they're ready to add to a board as wall hooks. I screwed one into an unfinished wood tag for the picture below (far right), But after the amputation, the backsides called out to me...
A gift tag for that someone special who just needs a little reminder? I glued the plastic horse's ass onto a wooden tag, 3 1/4" tall, that I painted and sanded, and added a silk ribbon (cut from a thrift store shirt). A note on the back reads "Remember not to be one."
Sometimes I get weird ideas that I talk myself out of, but this was too fun to pass up.
