Anne's Present to You, How to make a Pram

Tutorial “Mini-Mini-pram” from “tea-light-candles”

Reusing/recycling 

Take 2 pieces, cut out a  ¼  of each.

 Use glue or tape to stick them together

 Cut 2 long stripes of lining-fabric or paper to cover the inside and outside “circle” (measure as wide the inside and as long as the circle of  your “pram” is! )

 Glue into place.

 Cut 4 circles- pieces of cloth or paper (whatever you like) to cover the inside and outside sides. Cut out ¼ again of each fabric/paper-circle (to have the “opening” !)

 Glue into place. 

 You might like to cut the pieces a little bit wider than the “pram”  actually is, in order to perhaps cut off some trimming when all is dry, or cover up a point or two!

 Choose the material for the “handle” and glue inside the pram.

Glue some soft material into the bottom of the pram and cover with a tiny piece of cloth, or sew a tiny cushion to serve as “mattress”.

Make a tiny pillow, a tiny blanket to put inside.

Decorate the upper opening with some tiny piece of lace, or other material.

Decorate the outside parts with ribbon, threads, tiny beads etc.

Choose 4 small beads to serve as “wheels”, glue into place under the bottom of the “pram”.

Hope you will have fun making these!

 In order to get a more even result, I sometimes glue the fabric or paper onto a sheet of paper first and then cut the pieces to cover the inside and outside. 

Best wishes to all and a very “Merry Christmas”!
