- hot glue
- craft knife and scissors

Instructions
1. Carefully find the line where the pieces of the animal come together and use the craft knife to cut it apart, removing the heads.
2. Paint the animals – two coats should be enough – drying in between coats.
3. Remove the stand from the back of the frame.
4. Remove the clear plastic window from the frame.
5. Trace the frame shapes using the inserts onto the vintage paper and then cut them out, replacing the inserts with the vintage paper.
6. Using a sanding block, sand down the edges of the cut for a flat surface on the base of the heads.
7. Use hot glue to attach the heads to the frames.
8. Add two small magnets to the back of the frames with hot glue.
