Happy Saturday everyone. As temperatures drop and the holidays
approach it's hot cocoa season!
This miniature hot cocoa bar started with a GSL Workshop Table 1:12 This table works really well because it
has three separate horizontal spaces to place the tiny bits on.
There is the top shelf that fits right into the back wall of the
unit, another lower shelf that fits between the side supports and a
nice large main work space. Tacky glue is used to assemble the
entire piece.
The next piece I worked with was the
GSL Mini Picnic Basket 1:12 Scale, available from Alpha Stamps. The basket's weave comes from sections
that are stacked and glued together. It comes with handles which I
chose not to use for this project. Once assembled I painted the
basket brown.
Since this is a winter time project, I
chose one of the GSL Icicles Roof and Window Trims also available at Alpha
Stamps and painted it with white acrylic paint.
It fits perfectly on the front of the
table.
Every hot cocoa bar needs marshmallows!
Mine were made from white polymer clay.
Once baked, I put them in a small glass
jar embellished with baker's twine. I also filled
one with peppermint polymer clay cane slices.
Another element of the cocoa bar is a
tiny GSL 1 to 12 Gingerbread House.
After assembling and painting, I decorated it with
polymer clay candy slices.
Here's how it came together. In addition to the marshmallows and
peppermints, I made a few sugar sprinkle spoons from wood stirrers
and microbeads. The cinnamon sticks are curls of polymer clay, the
donuts are made from paperclay and the cocoa is resin colored with
acrylic paint.
Joining the gingerbread house on the
bottom shelf are a small snowy tree and a pair of mittens made of
felt.
Happy holidays, everyone!
