You know THAT Giles Deacon handbag? Make a snazzy version for yourself.
After lusting after the Giles Deacon dinosaur bag four a couple of years and failing to raise the ££££ I decided to make myself a gold version.

Step 13
Now you must paint your dinosaur. If you spray a fluffy toy the paint doesn't sick properly because there's all that fuzz to contend with so you need to create a new surface which is easier to adhere to. Acrylic paint if built up can leave a good vinyl-ey finish which is perfect for painting and actually ends up kind of looking like leather when finished. To apply work with the grain of your fabric and coat it so the fibres lay flat and there is a smooth finish.

Step 14
Keep layering up your paint. This was the most time consuming part of the bag but don't be tempted to rush or you won't get that gorgeous metallic finish. When your dinosaur is finished he should feel reasonably smooth and plasticy but still be able to move (that's why it is important to use fabric paint as it has more moveability).
