Well hello there, little fella!
It's one of the Korknisse, here to spread some joy!
How are you all? We haven't seen you for a while.
Oh really? You've been played with by the children and now there's not so many in your number?
And hardly anyone has a matching hat or jumper anymore?
Dreadful.
But you do have a lovely, easy, cheapy craft project to show us?
Game on!
Here's what to do:
Ok. First you need to find a little wooden-house-shelf-thingamabob.
Mine is from my local craft shop.
Cost £2.99.
You also need these sweet little Chinese Yuxian paper-cuts.
Again, from crafty shop.
Cost £about 3. (not bad-you get 10 in a pack. And they are beautiful)
So pretty!
Paint said house-shelf-wotnot with colour of desired hue.
I used white acrylic.
[Not for any other reason than I couldn't be bothered to find the key to the garage and risk my life and limb having to root through the dangerous arrangement of bikes, tools, barbeque paraphernalia and general guff to find the eggshell furniture paint]
Leave to dry.
Apply thin coat of PVA glue to wherever you want your designs to be and attach the paper-cut carefully.
Warning: these cannot be removed without destroying the paper-cut, as they are sooooo delicate.
Stand back, and marvel at your handiwork.
Enjoy your evening, all!
Am off to quaff a teeny glass of the red stuff.

ReplyDeleteGreat little project, me thinks your craft shop is somewhat more bargainous than ours. You're very clever and have a great eye for beautifying things.
I always love things you make, but with this you have outdone yourself!!!
ReplyDeleteSoooo adorable!!!!
I will be out hunting for supplies myself soon
(although mines will probably end up looking like a serial killers lair, instead of a cute place where bunnies and Korknisses romp happily)
A lovely little project and displayed beautifully in your last photo. Brought a big smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend,
Anne xx
Oh yes, LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteRight, am off to Google 'little wooden-house-shelf-thingamabob' owing to distinct lack of local craft shops!

loGreat shelf project - it turned out so nice.
ReplyDeleteI made a few korknisse's for my father-in-law a few years ago. He is a wine maker and he loved them.
I think they are so cute!
Yay! Good to see a Korknisse back! Such a creative piece of loveliness you made there sweetie.
ReplyDeleteYep, I would love to be let loose in your crafty shop, mine has no such tempting treasures in it, sigh....
Wonder if Pink Milk found any when googling 'little wooden-house-shelf-thingamabob'......off to try it:-)
