Creepy Owls Turned Cute!

How creepy are these little guys?  They frighten me...like haunt me in my sleep kind of frightened.  I found them in the dollar bins at Target.  I thought I could do something with them to give them a second life...one where they would make small children cry.

Before:



After:


Much better, right!  They almost look ceramic.  And they found a home next to  my newly fabulous lamp. 

Here were my supplies:

Creepy owls
spray paint primer
Rustoleum lacquer spray paint (pictured below)
