This picture can also be used as a map or as a decorative picture for standing or hanging.
Have fun trying out.
Pine-pinned sponges
Don't these fir cone bodies look cute? In itself, this handicraft work is not a big deal, yet requires some dexterity and manual skill.
With the pine cones you can use freshly collected ones or you can use which you might have found in the Christmas box from the previous year. The pine cones can be stored over several years and used again and again for great crafts or for decorating.
If you want to do the crafting as an upcycle project, you can use old clean felt cloths for your wicker hats. Alternatively, new felt wipes or thin craft felt are also suitable. The cut-up of the hat is made quickly, only when rolling and glueing the cap a little patience is required. Check out the instructions for this, then you can do it well.

Folding candle

However, it is necessary to do some practice, because the sequence of folding steps is always the same, but often not so obvious for children.
