Porcupine Garden Pal

Sorry for the hiatus, but sickness was in the house...  :-(

So now back to crafting...

I saw this cute little guy in a magazine and thought he would be an oh so cute addition to my garden.  Anything has to be better than the drought ridden, dying flowers.  :-(



So you start with a larger rock...like maybe 6 or 7 inches long.



I started with the face.  figure out which end would make a good face end. and start by drawing your face with a sharpie.  Then I painted it with craft paint.



Next start by hot gluing your pine needle clumps to the back and then just keep working your way forward.  I saved all the ones that were kind of curled up for the front.

Get some small pine cones or break some in half to be the right size for the ears.



If you started with a clean rock (which I didn't) you could keep it in the house....if you don't have allergies (which I do)....so mine is in the garden.
:-)  

Happy Crafting!!!
