Making A Ladybug
Hello again!
Here’s a pretty easy one. Not nearly as much serious crafting skills required as the Favorite Things book!
Our little friend next door, asked what it was like to be a fairy. So Petal and Thorn left her this note, and two little treasures. Teensy weensy lady bugs.
All you need – is some teensy-weensy pebbles, as lady-bug shaped as you can find, a little red acrylic paint and a black sharpie.
Paint the pebbles red. Then with your black sharpie make it look like a ladybug! For the eyes, I took a toothpick and put a tiny white dot of White-Out. After it dried, a tiny dot of black. When everything was fully dried, I put a coat of varnish on them. But some clear nail polish would do the trick too!
There you have it.
I’ve seen a similar technique done – making upholstery tacks into little mushrooms. Give that a try too!
Have fun and keep the magic alive!
Cheers, Lorie
