And turning a napkin into perfect miniature bedding is not at all as challenging as you might think. Wetting the napkin and positioning it the way you want will allow it to hold its shape as well as give it that wrinkled "just rolled out of bed look" when it dries. Use a 1:1 ratio of white glue and water and mix well when wetting.
The pillow is filled with sand, brushed with the glue mixture, shaped and then left to dry. I prefer this method to give it a heavy and contoured effect.
These funky chairs in this dinette are created from plastic forks. I used a heat gun to soften each tong in order to manipulate them into chair legs. The simple table was a marker cap and large button painted bright yellow.
Colored pencils, napkins and forks were my found items of choice for my own entry into the whimsicalness category this time. What would you choose and how would you rate your whimsicalness?
