Easter Chicks and Bunnies on sticks.









Easter bunnies and chubby chicks on sticks. An easy Easter project for a drop in workshop where an activity only takes a few minutes. Cardboard template was used, felt tip face, goggly eyes and pasel ribbon wrapped around a lolly stick.

Springtime Birds.


Small Springtime birds on sticks. Made from recycled cardboard, beaks and feathers made from scrap card, goggly eye and some felt pens, all attached to a decorated lolly stick. Ideal short activity.

Springtime Bird Houses.







Springtime Bird Houses! These colourful cardboard birdhouses looked absolutely stunning. I cut templates for the house, birds, heart and sign. A cutting out machine was used for all the lovely flowers which really made these birdhouses stand out. They all looked beautiful!

Halloween Bat

Small Pine Cone Wreath

Cardboard circle was cut from recycled cardboard and covered in garden twine, leaving a hanging loop. Small Larch cones were arranged around and fixed using a hot glue gun.  This would have to be an adult craft because of the need for a glue gun. For a more festive look, coloured or sparkly twine could be used and the cones could be sprayed gold/silver.

Natural Twig Wreath




This natural wreath has a backing of cardboard covered in garden twine. The twigs were all collected from the garden and built up around the circles using a glue gun.A smaller circle of Larch cones was added in the middle.
