Garden Tote: Step Three : Gloves and Shovel

Good Evening...noon..morning?.. I think I have a stomach virus...I feel like ****...well... in more ways than one...

^^I am going to regret typing that one day when my mind and body isn't suffering from delusions, cramps and headaches...^^

Anyways on to the happy! *lol*

 

So if you fine folks were following along at this point we should all have a nice little scene or pieces growing to our garden collection.

 

You may have already worked on your gloves, but I want to show you a quick option for a simple scene,,in which you can improve on since I am ....uhhhhgggg sick.

 

I started by trimming the sides of the glove to the line, and rounding off the fingers. You can then glue your card stock form to a scrap of cloth thinking the cloth as the top of the glove. Wrap the sides around the thumb and pinkie as I have done for a cleaner line.

 

Then after your cloth dries to the paper and your sure its a you can trim out the fingers

 

The next step is more of a work in progress but consider adding a 3-d effect to paper to give your glove form. By crimping the glove and adding lines you will be adding a puffed effect to the cloth side

 

This glove looks more rounded on the fingers and cuffs..if the picture picks up right ;/

 

The same technique can be done with the paper glove..just think of the printed side as your show side. You may want to use two sides and make a more classic glove here but I will stop here..as I might pass out...swoon ;P

 

Notice the green glove is from my printies: 

 

Ok on to the shovel:

Obviously there are many different ways of making a simple shovel:

 

The main components are going to be:

A little piece of wood

Some wire or metal jewelry eye ..er things..

Then you can choose paper, clay, wood, tinfoil or sheet metal.

 

The one I choose to do is the simplest one, cut some paper and paint it. Here is where our little shovel scale thing will come in handy as you can choose a material and just scale as needed.

 

As you can see I folded a piece of scrap card stock and cut half to make two sides.

 

The by gluing your wood and wire piece to the shovel you can make a nice little version or color your mind can conjure. I have painted this will metal paint and green to match my basket.

 

 

Ok I am going to go crawl into the corner and cry like a whiny baby now....

We will work on some extras next time like boots...umm stuff...toilet paper...er I mean pots.
