๐ MAKE CUTE FRUITS ๐ mini melon + strawberries from spun cotton | EASY DIY dollhouse food (no clay)
You can create charming heirloom-style miniature fruit for a dollhouse or any craft or art project (even jewelry) without skill, special tools, or supplies like polymer or paper clay -- these mini watermelon and strawberries are made from recycled aluminum foil, cotton balls, and a bit of school glue and paint. I imagine most of you already have everything in your home to start making these and I hope you will!
Please do leave a comment below and let me know if you have requests for future make alongs!
Happy making! โค๏ธ๐โค๏ธ๐โค๏ธ
