An Autumn Wreath

 This autumn wreath was made up as I went along, from bits I had in my craft room, the natural bits were forraged from my garden and around trees in my area. I  think the result is quite pretty.

 Plastic pipe cut to size and secured with tape

 






It was then covered with bubble wrap and strips of hessian

  Hazel nut shells stuck together and put on wire with a glue gun, the stem covered with hessian, also some cones were put on wires

The base was dressed with hops

 The cones, shells and some conkers were added, along with some dried shrubs, silk leaves and fake berries.

    Command hooks were put on the back of the door and twine attached to the wreath   

 The finished result with an added hessian bow, all made from bits and pieces.

Coconut Creatures

These coconut shells were saved when we had some delicious coconut ice cream. I couldn't bear to throw away the shells, I knew I would find something to make with them and this was the result.

 

A Rag Dolly

For this doll I made the head and body stuffed it and then added the stuffed legs. I gave her some white bloomers, made a pretty dress, made her some felt shoes and gave her some wool hair.
