Highland Birthday standing on a base

Highland Birthday standing on a base

This adorable highland cow is cut from 3mm medite MDF and is a pleasure to paint. He arrives to you in seperate pieces to make painting him a breeze. He sits in a template and can be painted inside this is prefered.

A lot of customers use acrylic paint, but many use emulsion tester pots from local homeware stores. Also people use paint pens, especially for detailing at the end. Whatever you choose, he is a joy to paint.

Because he is made from MDF, glueing him together is really easy too. Just use some PVA or wood glue and you will get a good bond. You don’t need to glue the base on, he just slots in. This makes posting him out to your customers easier as he will be flatter.

This is a lovely little project to do and many people find painting theraputic, but once finished you can resell and make some money too!

Because he is a good size he can be used for birthday decor or as an actual gift to the birthday person. Highlands have been and still are a popular animal so he will be loved for years!
