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!
That was great! Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI 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,
Susan

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.
ReplyDeleteHi 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteLove 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 :)
ReplyDeletehave you ever used oregano....spice for the moss?
ReplyDeletedo you sell the timbles...?? how much??
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for sharing. What magical little worlds you create!
ReplyDeleteso cute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I've been looking for a miniature dollhouse mushroom tutorial and came across this.
