I am big into spending some time doing crafts with family. Ideally for me it’s got some recycling. I’ll be making cardboard houses this year, some paper chains and likely I’ll make some candle holders from clay.
What your craft project to escape the big world this year guys?


I’m not big into Christmas decorations but I decided to make presents for my closest friends this year.
I already carved and sanded wooden mushrooms. They are only a few inches big so it’s not something that will take up a lot of space.
I just want to stain them now. I made a wooden mushroom as a birthday present recently and stained it with black and rooibos tea and it turned out really nice. This time I will also try vinegar+fruit juice as recommended from a random site that talked about staining wood that I found. I want to give these newer mushrooms a nice colourful top with light brown stems.
It’s kinda fun getting different shades. I’m sure they will be appreciated.
