Sometimes it takes longer to find all the bits and pieces for an idea than to actually make it. This idea follows on from yesterday and the spark of inspiration I got just before I was going to give a bag of wooden fruit beads that I got in a Works sale a while ago to school……….. an anniversary easel for my lovely neighbours across the hall, Kata and Laci.
I used a £1 mini canvas and easel and two wooden pear beads from The Works.
I started off with a faux stitching around the edge of the canvas and then spacing out the writing and doodled legs and arms as centrally as I could using a black, fine tip Stabilo pen.
On the pears I added googly eyes, pink flat backed gems for the checks and a smile made using a black, fine tip, permanent pen.
Then, all that was left to do was glue the pears on to the canvas using B-7000 glue ………
…… and then mounting it all on the easel…… simples!
I think I will make a few extra of these for my craft stall (if I am lucky enough to get one towards the end of the year) as I might just make a little extra if not all my stuff is Christmassy. We shall see.
