I've just finished making a couple of toadstools from old blue bottles for the base and flower pot saucers for the top. I do have the simple directions up on my website. Here is a photo of them ... can't wait to get them outsdie.

Oh Crafty, you are a clever boots!! 
Those are thoroughly charming.
Any gnome would be thrilled to take a siesta beneath those lovelies.
Keep your eyes open for our Frank, he'll be headed your way for sure,
I know he's fallen in love with your gnome homes (and I have too).

I'm packing my suitcase I'd love one of those toadstools to provide a nice bit o' shade after a hard day's work.
Great work Linda

I have blue bottle, I have pot saucer. Now all I need is the plaster to 'glue' the beads on.
