Today we'll make little colorful snails out of wire and wooden beads. What are your favourite colours?
And it's that easy:
First you paint the bark trunks with may green and Handicraft paint let them dry. For each snail you need one log. Tip: If you hit a nail into one end with a hammer, you can hold the bark trunks better when painting. When the paint is dry, drill two 2 mm holes for the feelers at one end and a 3 mm hole for the snail shell in the middle of the wood. Cut with the side cutter two 5 cm long pieces of the thin wire for the feelers, put a wooden bead on it and wrap the wire around it, so that it is fixed from at the end wire
Glue the other end into the pre-drilled hole. For the case you need about 20 cm thick from wire. Again, you put a wooden bead on it and wrap the wire end around it. Then you put more coloured wooden beads on the wire and bend it into a spiral. Glue the end of the spiral into the pre-drilled hole. You can also fix Handicraft glue the wires with something to make them hold better. The finished spirals can then be glued to a couple of bark discs that are glued together.
