I made a mini version of Ganzenbord (the Game of the Goose),
just like the one from my childhood which I still have
I sewed an elephant out of felt, with small pieces of pipe cleaner
in its legs so it can stand properly
I absolutely don’t like sewing, so it was quite a challenge for me
Chest and room divider made out of cardboard to store the ballet items
Kistje en kamerscherm van karton gemaakt,
om de balletspullen in op te ruimen
Fish cutting board made from the Calendario de Adviento
Vissnijplank gemaakt van de
Calendario de Adviento
Materials needed:
Piece of cardboard, 2 mm thick
2 identical buttons, 2 cm in diameter
1 button without holes, 3 cm in diameter (or a round piece of cardboard)
Corrugated cardboard from a cookie package
Glue and cocktail sticks
Gesso
White and black paint
Fine brush
Pencil
Cut a 2.5 x 2.5 cm square from the 2 mm thick cardboard.
Glue the two buttons together, then attach them to the piece of cardboard
Cut a piece of corrugated cardboard measuring 7 cm long and 4 cm wide
Carefully roll the corrugated cardboard around a pen to create a curve
Using a cocktail stick, apply a thin line of glue along one ridge
Glue it in place and let it dry thoroughly
Attach the rolled piece to the buttons
Glue the button without holes (or the round piece of cardboard) on top
Coat the entire piece with gesso and let it dry thoroughly
Paint the pedestal with white paint
While the paint is still wet, work in some black or grey to create a marble effect
If you’re not happy with the result, you can simply paint over it again
Once the paint is dry, you can carefully draw fine veins with a pencil to mimic real marble
You can use a photo from the internet as a reference if you like
Made the witch’s hat out of felt
The coat rack from a pipe cleaner and the broom from a twig and some string
I was given a broken IKEA clock
At first, I thought about turning it into a clock shop,
but I’d rather make one inside an antique clock.
Removed the clock face and glass
Painted it twice with chalk paint in the color “Old English Green.”
Painted the clock face and hands in antique gold
Downloaded a clock face with teacups and resized it to fit
Glued a teacup in the center and animals around the edge
Painted a cupcake liner in gold
Decorated the cupcake with paint and cake decorations
Made a little table out of cardboard and printed images
The “scary” cupcakes were bought from Art of Mini
Downloaded images, resized them, and glued them onto cardboard
I still had some sunflowers, so I painted them gold as well
Glued everything onto and inside the clock, after painting the interior black
Glued images onto the sides
And finally, added lighting to the inside of the door
