If you have any extra plastic toy animals laying around and don’t know what to do with them, then you’ve come to the right place.  This DIY will for sure have you raiding the toy bin!  In this blog post, we’ll take you through the steps of how to turn plastic toy animals into modern, trendy wall decor using Beacon Power-Tac.  Who would’ve thought right?
