The Salt Dough Snowman
Winter time is a-coming. Time to make some decoration. How about tiny snowmen? Prepare a small amount of salt dough by mixing 1 Tablespoon of flour, salt and water together.
Form three small balls and stack them. Add broken off toothpicks as arms and nose. Mark the eyes with a toothpick.
Let the snowman air dry (mine needed 2 days to get totally dry).
When dry, you can paint the snowman with acrylic paint.
Done! Now go on to make a tiny snowman army!
Other things you can do with salt dough:
I didn’t come around to paint them.by now.

Upcycling Basket Weaving
Last Saturday we went to a basket weaving course organized by the city. We had the whole day to work on three recycling projects.
4 milk cartons become a flat basket envelope:
12 pages of newspaper become a square basket with pointy edges…
… or a rectangular basket with even edges.
If you want to know more about the art of basket weaving with recycled material you can have a look at Lois Walpole’s blog.
