Another cork craft for your garden!

2016-08-09

Another cork craft for your garden!

This pritty idea comes from this lovely blog and takes us back to our childhood! 
Do you believe in fairies?

What could be nicer than making them a comfy little fairy ring of toadstools to rest their little fairy bums on?  We play with these at the bottom of the garden, or take them to the woods in the hope that they'll encourage the little sprites out to play.

 



Use a skewer or cocktail stick pushed into the base to make it easier to hold and to dry.  First I painted the corks with 2 coats of white acrylic paint.  Once dry, stick on some 'dot' stickers then paint the top section red.  Again, I did 2 coats.  Once fully dry, peel off the stickers and you should be left with neat white spots.

When they were on the skewers I did think they'd make nice decorations for a woodland themed party, and I guess if you use non-toxic paint you could use them on party food.

If you leave the skewer in and break it off to a shorter length you can spear it into the ground helping to keep them upright.  Or take the skewers out, pop some in your pocket and leave some little fairy rings for unsuspecting walkers to find!
