This month I have three crafts that all include sycamore seeds.
They are;
A dragonfly
A fairy
A flower
1. Dragonfly
You will need:
Two sycamore double seed heads one larger than the other
Thin twig
Pearlescent paint or felt tip pens
Glue (I used a glue gun)
Glitter
Take your thin twig and attach two little bits for the antenna and two for the legs
Paint the body
Paint the wings and add some glitter
Stick to the body putting on the smaller ones first pointing down then the larger ones on top
Put out in the garden or decorate your house
2. An Angel for your altar
You will need:
2 sycamore seed pods
Stick (about the size of your little finger)
Grass, wheat or corn
Acorn or wooden bead ( I used a wooden bead)
Glitter
Glue ( I used a glue gun)
Sycamore leaf
If you are using a wooden bead and corn you can put a blob of glue onto the top of the corn and push it through the hole.
If you are using a stick and acorn then
Stick the grass to the stick half way down and then stick on the acorn as a head
Stick the sycamore seeds onto the back as the wings
Sprinkle the glitter over the grass/corn
Then put the leaf on top of her dress..as this drys it will make into folds.
3. Flower

3. Flower
You will need
10 sycamore seed heads
Glue ( I used a glue gun)
Cotton thread
Stick the heads together in a circle turning them in towards each other to make a horse shoe shape
Then stick the cotton thread to the top to hang the flower up
This can be decorated if you like or it leave natural
This flower can be made into a festive wreath in December by adding red/green glitter (so collect your seed heads now and dry out and keep, ready to make natural decorations for your tree.
