Crikey Not Christmas 2022 Part 13

 Crikey Not Christmas 2022 Part 13

A nice quick blog this week.

Pair of Pine Cones











I wanted to make the Wreath more 3 Dimensional. I know that sounds weird as it already was but simply being a Ring it looked too flat.

Therefore I decided to add some Pine Cones. I wanted them a similar size so began comparing them. I wanted 3 in total.

Trying to Glue

 










Once selected I took a Pine Cone and tried to Glue it in place using my usual Glue. It didn’t go well. The Pine Cones Shape meant that there was little surface to place the Glue.

Trying to Sew

 










To try and give it some extra Strength I tried to part Sew the Cone to the Ring. This was done by securing the Thread to the Ring. Then winding the Thread in and out of the Pine Cone. Needless to say all that happened was tangled mess.

Superglue to the Rescue


 









Luckily I had some Superglue in my Craft Stock. I used that to Glue the Pine Cones in place. This was done at roughly equal placing. See above photograph.
