DIY hood ornament

Step 2 Find a fun hood ornament

i love to laugh. absurdity is fun. people get so caught up in the humdrum it's hard to extricate themselves and see humor sometimes. if i can get people to laugh just by glancing over at my car, all the better. not to mention the fact that i get a big grin on my face every time i walk up to my car and notice something not quite stock.

anyway, at tractor supply they have these plastic animals and dinosaurs and what not made by this german company. (someone please enlighten me, i threw away the tag.) they are durable and seem to work well. there are many interesting animals to choose from. the type of magnet you are using will generally dictate what is a good candidate. but be creative. i've thought about using all sorts of animals. it doesn't even have to be an animal. it could be a symbol or something quirky. get funky and have fun.

for me, this time, i'm using the mouse.

(i mean 'this time,' because my initial go at this was a chicken. it was fantastic and i miss it greatly. alas, it was stolen. and if i find out who took my chicken. . . anyway, be prepared to lose this and don't spend too much money. the magnet does help keep from destroying your hood when someone decides to be cute, though.)
