Gift Idea: DIY Action Figure Louffa
In the spirit of sharing past gifts, here is a super quick, cheap and simple DIY gift idea that is perfect for a stocking stuffer: an action figure louffa.
Full disclosure--this gift has "inside joke" written all over it. But sticking a macho superhero on a fluffy louffa cloud is pretty awesome at any age, so no need to tell you the "you kinda had to be there" story. Just enjoy the superhero goodness.
I found a cheap Thor action figure in the toy section at a department store and superglued it to a louffa. Whabbam! That's really it.
There are more photos of this project than steps required to actually make it. That right there is my kind of DIY project!
Action Figure Louffa
Materials:
- Louffa of choice colour
- Action figure/Small toy of choice (5" tall or smaller)
- Superglue
Instructions:
- Position your action figure on the louffa as desired, wrapping the rope of the louffa around its body.
- Apply a generous amount of superglue to the louffa string/action figure.
Note: If your action figure is standing up, I recommend gluing the string to the back of the toy as well (see photo below) - Hold the rope in place while the glue dries. Let sit for 24 hours before use/gifting, or follow instructions on the glue package for drying/wait times.

ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! It's a fun kids gift idea but was created for a grown up. Gotta stay young at heart somehow, right? :)
