Forest Lantern by Kerstin

 Hello everyone!

 Today, I am presenting a new lantern project. 

This simple model features open rectangular apertures made of birch wood, 

designed to match a forest theme. 

I glued perspex sheets onto three sides, leaving the fourth open

 so that a simple electric tea light can be placed inside. 

 

To decorate the lantern, I added a few filigree MDF parts, 

dividing them into different sections and gluing them on individually.

 As the original colour of the MDF parts contrasted well with the light birch wood tone, 

I did not change their colour.

Opa Gnom wants comfort

 

Hello everyone!

 

Today I'd like to introduce you to the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest, 

who probably come and go quite often in the big mushroom. 

 

some details

 

 

Special Tip

 

You can also make a sitting Opa Gnom from a standing one. 

After all, an old man wants comfort.

Just break the legs twice OMG 😀

and then glue them back together at a 90° angle.

3D Kit Mushroom - Enchanted Forest

 

Hello everyone!

 

 Today I present you another newly designed 3d kit. It is a giant mushroom 

(I chose the 3mm version) that can be made for example as a toadstool or a boletus.

It has become a wonderful autumn table decoration for me, 

creating a charming and cosy atmosphere with the help of a simple electric tea light.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Creative Tip

 

The visible joints on the stem of the mushroom were disrupting the overall appearance,

 so I chose to cover them. 

I decided to use a thicker, monochrome scrapbook paper.

 

 I cut it to size, using the plate left over from pressing out the MDF parts as a template. 

 The paper was then lightly moistened and covered with a wood pattern 

using a 3D embossing folder. 

 

 Then glued on and colour matched accordingly with dry brush technique.
