How to Make
- Paint the ceramic bird with the white porcelain paint. Then, mix some black and white porcelain paints together to make a light grey. Use this paint to paint the wings and the underneath of the bird. Use black paint to colour in the bird's eyes.
- Use a yellow fine tip deco pen to decorate the bird with a Scandinavian pattern. Draw small hearts on the wing, and a dashed line around the outside. Add other similar patterns onto the rest of the bird.
- Cut a circle from a white sheet of felt, about 18cm diameter. Cut a piece of white embroidery thread and tie a double knot in one end. Thread the other end into the needle and put a loose running stitch around the edge of this circle.
- Pull the end of the thread tightly, making the edges of the circle come together. Then fill this with stuffing and sew it closed to create the pin cushion.
- Push the felt pin cushion into the top of the ceramic bird. It should be big enough that it will wedge in without having to be glued in place.
