I went to the dollar store to find affordable items to DIY for my house. I found these plastic ornaments that were 2/$.99!

Start by putting a base coat of Weathered Wood over the entire surface and allow to dry. DIY adheres to plastic, because it is clay-based.

Clay is the main ingredient in DIY Paint. If you let it sit out, it starts turning back into clay. You can pour it onto a plate and let sit out overnight or put the paint into the freezer until it thickens. Use a putty knife, spatula or old credit card to spread random layers of paint colors onto your surface.
