DIY Doll Furniture: Let's Make a Wishing Well!

In this one-time class learners will be creating a wishing well.  

PLEASE NOTE:  Some pre-class preparation is necessary.  So that class time will be more productive, please gather the necessary supplies, print the pattern, and cut out the pattern pieces before class.

I will model step-by-step procedures for assembling the wishing well, and give some suggestions for adding decorative details.  The learners will make their projects unique by choosing their own color scheme and embellishments.  Learners will have the opportunity at the end of class to share their creations.

The basic structure will be mostly made from corrugated cardboard. Learners will also need a glue stick, scissors or a craft knife, a low temperature glue gun and glue sticks, a ruler, a pencil, paint, a paintbrush, a disposable straw, 2 cotton swabs or toothpicks, about 5" of string or yarn, tiny artificial flowers or some colorful tissue paper, and decorations of your choice, such as stickers, beads, decorative tape, ribbon, gems, or glitter.

The pattern will be posted in the classroom.  

Learners will need enough dexterity to manipulate small pieces into place.  Some basic craft skills, such as cutting, gluing, and painting are necessary. 
 
The classroom environment is fun and relaxed.  The learners are encouraged to chat while they create.

It's time-consuming to cut out the pieces.  To make the most of class time, I will ask the learners to spend 15 - 20 minutes before class cutting out the pieces for the project.
