Floating Frog Wall Art

Elevate your frog decor to new heights with floating frogs suspended on the wall. Use air dry clay to sculpt 3D frogs in various poses, then attach small eye screw hooks into their bases for easy wall mounting. To make them 'float,' attach strong Rare-earth magnets to the back, ensuring they securely stick to metal wall surfaces.

Before hanging, paint your floating frogs with vibrant colors or distress them for a rustic look. For added dimension, attach graceful greenery or moss to the frogs using a hot glue gun. These magical wall creatures are sure to spark joy and conversation in any space.
