This is a quick and easy fiddle fart I came up with after contemplating giving a bag of painted, wooden, fruit shaped beads to school, I took another look at them and thought I might just get at least one idea out of them, thinking on the lines of “an apple for the teacher”, a lanyard pin badge for Iris and Bertie’s classroom staff on the first day of the new school year ????
The beads came from a sale at The Works, I think they had been reduced to 25p a bag, for quite a big bag, of which I bought two.
All I really did was add a clear, flat back gem over the painted shine on the apples ……
……. before adding a very small brooch back on the back using B-7000 glue to make sure I had a secure fix.
I then made up some small display cards to pin them on and put them in small cello bags, simples!
I am now thinking of doing the same with a few of the strawberries…..
…… adding tiny clear gems to the outside pips. I also think the pears have potential, perhaps on an anniversary card or two …… and then the rest can go to school!
