Instructions:
Laminate your empty seed packet – to uphold in the weather.
Glue four craft sticks together so the opening is slightly smaller than the seed packet. Let dry thoroughly.
Marble the hazelnut and tan clay by cutting into pieces, mixing together by twisting and rolling until the clay begins to have swirls in it.
Roll the marbled clay into a snake approximately ½” in diameter.
Apply Liquid Sculpey to the front of the glued craft sticks. Leave the center of the top and bottom empty for the clothespins.
Cut the snake into lengths of the sticks slightly flatten to cover the entire front and sides of each craft stick.
Using a needle tool, put grooves into the clay to simulate a wood effect.
Using the fruit & veggies push mold, make the appropriate vegetables for each of your holders (of use a few of each for a variety).
Using Liquid Sculpey attach the veggies to the front of the each holder.
Bake the entire piece at 275 degrees F for 20 minutes.
Apply craft glue to the lower front open area of the seed packet and clip on clothespin. Let dry.
Apply craft glue the remaining craft stick and attach to clothespin. This can then be used as the stake or wired onto a metal stake for inserting into the ground.
