How to... make teeny weeny mushrooms


I was thinking that it would be nice to do a bog ole' tutorial. So, over the next couple of weeks I'll share how to make little toadstools, wee houses, and eventually a thimble garden and town in a teacup.

Here's the first part... making miniature toadstools and mushrooms. Please excuse the chubby, grubby fingers :)



Happy making!

  9. Ok, so how cool is this?! Thanks for sharing!

    I was looking for air-dry clay when making my brains. Couldn't find then, but will definitely get some now that I know what to look for. :)

    Cheers,

  14. My daughter and I are oh-so very thankful to you, and for your tutorial.
    You inspired and encouraged us to play with paper clay for our first time,
    and it's been wonderful. We gave you a shout-out at our blog... and we will
    be eager to come back here to see what else you have going on! Thank you.

  15. Really enjoyed your tutorials. If you don`t mind me asking where do you order your timbles? I`v been searching and can`t find a good price. Would really like to make them and give them out to all family members.Large family on both sides.Once again thanks for sharing.

  16. Hi Elvia! I too found sourcing thimbles incredibly difficult. Luckily a local discount shop in my little town carries them and I swipe as many as I can when I see them. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

  17. I find thimbles at Walmart, Hancock Fabrics or Joann's in the city. I introduce my grandmother's game "Hide the Thimble" to the children of my husband's family and invariably somebody wants one. Cute toadstools. :) I found a couple of wooden ones at a thrift store that looked just like yours, but now that I know how to make them from paper clay, I can make more. Saw your video on Pinterest.

  18. Love your teeny weeny mushrooms! They are quite adorable. What sort of material do you fill inside the thimble (under the moss). Also, what do use inside your enchanting teacups as the base to build on. Thank you :)
