Gum Nut Babies

Back in November we decided to try our hand at making Gum Nut Babies
We gathered our gum nuts from under the gum tree in the front yard and with some felt and pipe cleaners we set to work.

First we bent a pipe cleaner in half

and then we added the gum nut ‘head’.

We then twisted another pipe cleaner, this one has to be cut down to size, around the first pipe cleaner just under the head.

We then sewed little outfits out of felt for our ‘babies’. We thought the end product rather cute and it was lots of fun to make.

If you would like to look at some other bush babies pop over to Fe’s and Rebecca’s.
