Good morning! Just took my first final exam and I think I did marvelous! Phew!
Relief...and one step closer to graduation.
Ok I talked about my first weird obsession with ceilings in a previous post.

Now for weird obsession #2: Bookends. I LOVE BOOKENDS!

I especially love animal figurine bookends so I decided to make my own. Yessss, another DIY. I got my inspiration for this project from the blog mad in crafts but we did ours a little differently.
Guess how much my bookends cost me! 4 bucks.
I got my cute little elephants for $1 each...don't you love them?
All I had to do was spray paint them with gold spray paint and I started to get the look I was going for. [which would be the "i'm really heavy, not hollow," look]
After I painted them I'm in the process of glueing together two pieces of wood for the "L" shaped ends. Then I'm glueing the elephants on so they look like they are pushing and holding up the books with their tusks.
For all you know they could be 10 pounds each of solid brass! I think they are going to turn out pretty cool once my elephants are on the wood "L"and get up a little higher. I'm really happy with the outcome!
What do you think? What animal would you make your bookends?
Target had a whole bin of different plastic animals to choose from!
