DIY Sparkly Rubber Ducks

When I find things on Pinterest that seem like an easy enough craft, I jump ALL in. Thankfully, Dane understands this and keeps a large amount of patience in his back pocket when he comes home and there is glitter spray paint all over our garage. I wanted to take traditional rubber ducks and make them into something a little extra special for a baby shower I was hosting (How To Host A Baby Shower Under $100). I thought glittery rubber ducks would be adorable scattered around as decor for the party. Plus – who doesn’t like glitter, right? This DIY rubber duck craft is seriously so simple and I really loved the result, so get your spray adhesive ready, it’s time to craft!

DIY Sparkly Rubber Ducks

You Will Need:
plain rubber ducks (as many as you want!)
gold spray paint
glitter spray paint

OR

adhesive spray
loose gold glitter

*I will give full disclosure that these ducks would be MUCH CUTER with the second option, but finding loose gold glitter proved to be more difficult than expected. Hawaii has ONE craft store and it’s not a Michael’s. Believe me, I KNOW…Anyway.

Step 1: Arrange ducks on an old Victoria’s Secret catalog, so you don’t get your garage floor messy.
Step 2: Spray the ducks with the plain gold metallic spray paint.

Step 3: Let the ducks dry overnight. Spray with glitter spray! 

 I wanted my ducks to be more glittery, so I waited another day and sprayed them with more glitter!

And while they are definitely very shimmery, I wanted the cool hard glitter look, which is why I recommend buying spray adhesive and sprinkling them with loose glitter! In any case, I think they turned out pretty well and I’m excited to use them at my friend’s shower 🙂
