DECORATIVE WELL MADE OF ICE CREAM STICKS

Send

Agree that making gifts with your own hands is both exciting and useful. Moreover, such an activity can bring real pleasure!
Consider today a workshop on making a well with a bucket of ice cream sticks.
At the end of the work we should get something like the following.

To work, you need to prepare: glue, ice cream sticks, an empty bottle, copper wire, thick cardboard, white paint, scissors and a nail file, a little yarn and a hook, as well as beads to decorate our crafts.

Consider our actions in stages.

Stage One. Billet

In order to make such a nice well, you need to cut off the bottom of the bottle, as well as cut the sticks to the desired length. Two sticks must be left in the usual size, they will serve in order to support our design.

Then, when the sticks completely closed the bottle, you can proceed to further work.
We take an empty container from a toy called kinder surprise, leave the bottom of this container and make the future bucket out of it. To do this, we attach to its edges an ordinary copper wire, which can be wrapped with ordinary white thread.
This will be the handle of our bucket.

In addition to a cardboard bucket, we make a lid for a well, we also attach a wire to the top of the lid.

Now it remains only to make a base for the roof. To do this, take a thick cardboard, stick it on the top sticks of the toy. The lower part of the well by this time can already be painted over with white paint.

Stage Two. Decor

Now you need to arrange a toy. To do this, paint the lid in white.

Glue the sticks on the bucket, this is such a creation.

We also stick the sticks on the cardboard, which serves as the roof of our structure.

We take an empty reel from under the threads and make the rotating part of the toy, the reel can be attached to the wire or to long nails.
We paint everything in white.
When the paint dries (by the way, you can use acrylic paint for this, as well as a regular touch to adjust the text), we begin to decorate our product.
Stage Three. Decoration

You can start decorating by picking a hook in your hands and knitting a long thread with the help of yarn from air loops. This thread must be carefully and evenly glued to the edges of the well, as well as to the edges of the bucket and lid.
Here's what we got: a bucket and a lid, it’s in the well itself.

Despite the fact that our well is almost ready, it can be decorated with yarn.
To do this, take green threads and a hook and knit a long thread that will look like an ivy plant. We glue this ivy to the well, also from a yellow yarn we knit a long chain of air loops, we attach this thread to a bucket and a well.
You can also tie flowers from multi-colored threads and decorate our craft with them. In general, a lot here depends on the imagination of the craftswoman herself.
Here is our well and ready.
