Craft Project

Bought these guys on eBay for a bargain price.
They are Keypers, a toy that was popular when I was little.
I had a swan
They are toys/trinket boxes that have a hidden compartment and open up for you to store your treasures.
These come without the keys and with out their little friends but are in pretty good condition I'd say.
So My plan is to repaint and decorate them.
This is the actual photo used in the listing, below are individual photos I got off google.
The Snail
I like this ones compartment as its in its shell. Maybe a gothy look will suit the underlining pink
Lady Bug
This one also has a rather cool compartment
No idea what I want to do wit it though
This is the same lady bug but a different variation.
I'm thinking this ones underlining colours would be great for a steampunk repaint.
The squirrel
I am keen to make a steampunk squirrel I must say.
I don't really like this ones compartment but have never had a squirrel so it might be ok still.
So I have to
  1. receive items
  2. work out their paint jobs
  3. figure out how to dye doll hair
  4. get sand paper for the repaint of the hard plastic
  5. figure out how to mold the locks to make new keys
  6. get some bits and pieces to add decoration to them.

I don't think I will make them companions but I would like to make accessories

I will be on knife edge till they arrive

I am very keen to get started on these.
