Paving slips / Egg cartons

This week I was very busy in the garden.

I put flower bulbs in empty egg cartons

(to get big flower arrangement in some months)

 

I will do paving slips from the lids (for my toy shop).

 

Have a nice day

French house part 6 - wood glue advice

The quality of my house is not very good.... before I can start with the frames I have to fill the spaces between windows/door and the wall.....

For this job I have created a "pasty bag" (a plastic bag with a small hole in one of the corners) so it is easierer to put the wood glue into the spaces.....(and you have also clean fingers!). The hole of the bottle is to big!!

Fill all holes/spaces with wood glue and let dry. If you have some glue on your windows/wall clean it before it is dry (with a wet (not to wet) kitchen paper. Use a wooden coffee stir (in Germany we have wooden ones at McDonalds) as a palette-knife.

Have a great day

Today I start with the window and door frames of my French house.....I use 1mm cardboard (for free from my local diy shop - flower department..).......
and for the windows I use the plastic package of IKEA x-mas ornaments.....the plastic is very strong..

I have also cardboard window and door frames in my baby boutique (photo 1).
