Down load the template.You may want to transfer the template pieces onto cardboard which will make them more ridgid to draw round on your chosen card.Once you have drawn around all template pieces cut them out.

Use a glue pad to stamp your image right along the bottom of the body of the watering can. Remember to take the stamp pad to the stamp and tap gently as this will give good even coverage of glue on your stamp. You will need to do this each time before you stamp your image.

 

Chose a pallet of colours in your chalks to compliment the colour of card you have chosen for your watering can. Using a pudgy (chalk applicator). Load on your chalk and with small circular strokes apply the chalk to the stamped image remember to vary the tones of colour used as this will add more depth to your image. Once you have worked along the bottom of the card tap off any excess chalk then using a large soft brush in a circular motion brush away the remaining chalk. Use stickles glitter glue here and there on the image to add a little sparkle and set to one side to dry.

 

Take a sheet of A4 acetate and stamp your butterfly and dragonfly impression on using stazon ink. Depending on how many butterflies and dragonflies you want to stick onto your watering can, you will need to stamp 2 impressions for each one. Let dry for a few minutes then turn the acetate over and use designer art glitter glue (which dries crystal clear) to add your pee wee glitters which are ultra fine. Once these images have dried completely cut out of acetate and attach together by gluing down the centre of the body only, then score and fold the set of wings up.

 

Cut 2 strips of green paper each to measure 30.5cm x 4cm. With a small pair of scissors cut along the top egde of the paper this way and that to make the grass.

Take a blending tool and ink all the edges on all the pieces. This will soften the edges and give a finished off look to your watering.

 

 

Take your spout piece and  set 5 eyelets into top. On the centre fold of the watering can measure up 5cm from the bottom   and using a craft knife make a slit measuring 5.5cm.Add doubled sided tape to the flap on the spout and push trough the slit, and secure,

 

 

Take a fine liner pen and mark small lines around the watering can and handle. Next Push a large brad trough the card at the bottom of the handle on each side. Attach double sided tape to all the flaps and secure all the edges together. 

Attach the tag with a selection of  ribbon / fibers. Stick double sided foam pads onto the wrong side of your grass and attach all the way around the bottom of the watering can.Using small dabs of  glue position the butterfly and dragonflies where you want them to go. Now stand back and admire your work!
