Today I have finally finished the leprechauns house for the fairy garden and started to varnish it. Tomorrow I will varnish the bottom and then it is ready to go outside. Lil man asked if I could make him a pot of gold to go with it. This pin gave me the idea.
Instead of using a bottle I used a small plastic medicine tub:
I took off the lid and cut the tub abit shorter with a sharp knife. From here I coated the inside in a grey nail varnish and left to dry. I then coated the outside in a dark blue and silver nail varnish and left to dry.
I filled the inside of the tub 3/4 of the way up with clear silicone and then started to place gold pirate coins into it, I also put more silicone around the coins so it should be waterproof. I did place a few more coins than are in the photo.
It is now sitting drying ready to go outside tomorrow with the house and leprechauns.
