Bees' nest made from clay pots

Start by painting your terracotta pots yellow. Use the VBS craft paint in the fresh shade of buttercup and apply it evenly to the large terracotta pot and the four small pots. Don't forget to paint the four wooden balls in the same vibrant colour. Once all the pieces are a cheerful yellow colour, leave them to dry completely. This colourful base forms the perfect foundation for your mobile.

Now it's time to give your creativity angel wings - or in this case, antennae. Cut four pieces of chenille wire about 10 cm long. Press the centre of each piece together and tie a perlon thread to the middle. This will give the antennae of your future bees the necessary support. Attach the antennae to the small holes in the wooden balls with a dab of hot glue. This will allow the antennae to shine in all their glory later on. For added cheerfulness and a playful look, glue pompoms to the ends of the feelers and to the bottom of the little pots and it's time to breathe life into your little bees! Use the Posca marker to draw charming faces and characteristic stripes on the painted wooden balls. For the finishing touches, add wobbly eyes to make your little creatures look particularly lively and cheerful.

The large terracotta pot should also shine! Use the Posca marker to give it a unique pattern. Finally, cut a piece of jute ribbon, knot the ends and pull it through the hole in the terracotta pot from the inside. Secure it with a little hot glue so that it stays in place. Now it's time to assemble your mobile. Attach the perlon threads of the small bees to the inside of the large terracotta pot using hot glue.
Make sure that the little bees can swing freely. As the icing on the cake, glue three more pompoms next to the hanging jute ribbon. That's it!
