Flamingo Vultures

Turn pink lawn flamingos into vultures using some spray paint and a white boa around the neck.

Equipment

  • Pink Plastic Lawn Flamingos (I got mine HERE)
  • 2 cans of spray paint: dark maroon and black. Be sure to pick a spray paint that is designed to go over plastic
  • Painter’s tape
  • Plastic grocery bags
  • Cardboard or something to protect the ground while spray painting
  • White craft boa (Find one HERE)
  • Gorilla glue or something similar that will dry quickly on plastic

Instructions

  • Using painter’s tape, cover the eyes and beak
  • Spray the flamingo’s head and neck maroon
  • Allow it to dry outside for 30 minutes
  • Cover the flamingo’s head with a plastic grocery bag and secure it with painter’s tape
  • Spray the pink flamingo’s body black
  • Gently remove the plastic bags and allow the birds to dry
  • Remove the painter’s tape
  • Using the glue, wrap the white boa around the bird’s neck twice where the black and maroon colors meet
  • Place the flamingo vultures in your yard!
