I don't want a poor quality or rushed paint job done tho...I really want to make it special. Does anyone here know if people do this kind of thing by any chance? I have no idea where to start asking but I know everyone here loves Disney as much as we do so I thought I'd start here and hope for the best...thank you and sorry if this is not the right place for this...

Originally Posted By FerretAfros It's a website where people can sell hand-made goods. I've never personally used it, but several friends of mine have found unique things on it. Many of the vendors do custom items, so it might take some digging to find what you're looking for, but I suspect it's there somewhere <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.etsy.com/">http://www.etsy.com/</a>
