I’ve been occurring about Nature Crafts for Autumn for the final couple of weeks now… I merely adore getting the youngsters to craft with acorns and chestnuts and pine cones. They get to hunt for them within the park and convey them house for some pretty textured crafting. On the similar time, they are often difficult to craft with. What, oh what to make from an acorn?! Properly, we do like acorn animals and little acorn males. They simply make me glad and smile. And we most undoubtedly made extra of those yr.
However I additionally needed to share some “new” acorn crafts with you –
Acorn Crafts: Tea Set!
Supplies for the tea set:
- acorn “caps”,
- FIMO (polymer clay),
- glue
You don’t HAVE to make use of FIMO, I’m fairly sure I’ve seen folks use Plasticine which on many ranges is far simpler to do, however then doesn’t preserve as lengthy. Or may attempt gluing on some felt handles and so forth. We occurred to have some Polymer Clay mendacity round, so we used that.
make your acorn Tea Set
1) I molded the clay into handles and spouts. I made a base for the tea cup, to offer the handles some extra grip and one thing to stay to. The tea pot is made of 1 massive acorn hat and a bit one as a lid. I additionally made a milk jug (small spout, no lid) and sugar pot (a base for the acorn, however no deal with).
2) I attempted them within the oven the wrong way up – preserving them ON the acorn, so I’d know which deal with match which cup. Our FIMO is heated at 110C for 25min or so – examine the directions in your packet.
3) As soon as dried and cooled, I used my sizzling glue gun to safe them.
Accomplished. And have a fairy tea get together!
