Do you like miniatures?

Trying to occupy 13 years old teenagers is no mean feat! Take the electronics away and withdrawal symptoms start to occur within the hour. You know the ones I mean: chin dropping to the floor, shoulders levelling with the knees and the extend of conversation reverts to prehistoric times involving a mixture of grunts and shrugs. Determined my daughter was going to entertain her friend who came to stay with us for three days during the holidays I decided we would have fun crafting! My daughters' friend actually enjoys making things so I thought we could make some fimo jewellery and papercrafts (that's the next post!). The fimo experiment proved to be slightly harder than I expected as patience is a virtue few teenagers possess... But we got there and here is a sample of what they produced.

Mini glazed doughnuts

bourbon biscuit and chilli

Cheese burgers earrings

Chocolate earings
They had plans to make boxes for the doughnuts but the enthousiasm ran dry after a full afternnoon of modelling clay.
However I came across these handy sites whilst trying to make the miniature boxes.
