Express your individuality by creating this attractive uncommon thing 🙂
Originally they use special wax to stick the yarn on the picture. We suggest using white glue as more handy one. But of course, if you have that wax that would even be better!

This cute little thing will definitely add charm to your table and please children. And it’s not only decorative but workable!

Craft supplies (for 1)
8 wooden beads
2 wiggle eyes
White twinkle pipe cleaner
Scissors
Acrylic paint (it may be 1 or 8 colors, depends on you), paintbrush
1 small 2-holed button
Thread
1 wooden bead (or any other bead, or could be just small pipe cleaner ring)
Craft glue or loaded glue gun
Directions
Color the beads, let them dry
While they dry out, make chenille rings – very small, to string them between beads so your caterpillar can curve
Hotglue eyes to the “head” bead
Thread the cord through button’s holes, tie a knot
Start stringing beads, alternating with chenille rings
At the end (tale) of your caterpillar just string small bead, tie the end
Ready to play!
Craft supplies
1″ wooden bead
2 toothpicks
1 regular size craft stick
Curly chenille stem (pick color of your bride’s hair)
Regular chenille (skin color you like your bride to be)
Acrylic paint to color her face (choose the color), paintbrush
Flowers (from wedding section in the craft store)
Loaded glue gun
Fine permanent markers – black and red
Scissors
White tulle for veil
White glimmering felt for dress
White thread, needle
Some “pearl” beads
White sparkling cord for waistband
Directions
Hotglue toothpicks on both sides of craft stick (by length), leaving about 1″ out
Put some hot glue on prominent ends of toothpicks, string the bead on them (that’s the way her head holds tight on her body)
Cover her hair zone with hot glue, stick the hair (start “wrapping” her head with curly chenille, continue to center, cut excessed ends)
Draw eyes, nose, lips with fine markers
Cut out tulle – any length you like veil to be (rectangular prism)
Pull together upper edge of the veil, fasten with thread
Hotglue the veil on the head, decorate with flowers
Tie “hands” (chenille) to the “body” (craft stick)
Lay your undone doll on white felt, trace her forming dress. Remember to trace her “fatter” than she really is because you need to sew to halves together. Cut first half out, trace it again, cut it out
Put two halves of the dress on your bride and start sewing from the shoulders
Belt your bride
She is ready to get married! Teach her “I do!” phrase 🙂
Craft supplies
Plastic ring with crossbar (stores often carry scarves on those, just cut the hook 🙂 ), or, just roll wire
Wooden stars from craft store
School glue, paintbrush
Glitter, different colors
Ribbon
Loaded glue gun
Directions
Wrap the ring with ribbon, glue the ends
“Paint” stars with school glue, sparkle with glitter
Hotglue ribbon ends to stars, tie opposite ends to ring (we have one big star with long ribbon tied to the bar and five small stars with shorter ribbons tied over the ring
Add a ribbon loop, display! If you hang it in the garden it will be definetely a suncatcher, add a bell and you have a windchime!
Beautiful piece that’ll certainly grab your guests’ attention and kids will love to procure candy eggs from inside the house 🙂
Craft supplies
Unfinished wooden birdhouse from craft store
Acrylic paint (bronze, golden, green) and brush
Sealer (optional)
Little flowers (there are lots of them in wedding section)
Scissors
Loaded glue gun
Paper Easter grass
Directions
Paint the house as you see on the picture or, paint is as you wish! You may use pastel Easter colors, or any your favorite
While it dries, prepare the flowers – you need to separate bunches so you can arrange them as you wish
When paint is dry, you may want to varnish it (not necessary)
Glue the flowers by your choice and taste (or use our picture as an example)
Stuff house with paper grass, add candy (it contains A LOT! 🙂 )
It’s ready! It can be your Easter table centerpiece or, you can give it as a present! After use you may leave it or put on a tree as it inteded to be – birdhouse! So birds can feel Easter spitit too 🙂
Craft supplies
Unfinished wooden box with tip-up lid from craft store (make sure two raws of tea bags settle)
Acrylic paint, brush
Varnish (optional, but since this box will be living in the kitchen… we better protect it from liquids, oils and dust 🙂 )
Air dry clay matching with paint (or just color it with the same paint)
Embellishments (we used wooden cutouts and miniature rhinestones)
Directions
Paint the box with the paint you chose, let it dry
Varnish, let it dry (attention: better do it outside or in well-ventilated facility)
Affix the clay to inner surface of the lid (we suppose the lid will be always opened)
Press the embellishments in the clay
Let the clay dry
Fill with tea bags! Enjoy your finished project or give it to your mom or granny or anyone you love so they enjoy it and boast of it! 🙂
