DAY 8:

Make an ice decoration

You will need:

  • Nature finds – leaves, feathers, berries, dried fruit slices, twigs
  • Suitable container – a silicone mould, cupcake tray or plastic box
  • String
  • Scissors
  • Water
  • Freezer

How to make:

1) Arrange your nature finds in the container.

2) Add a piece of string to each of your decorations folded in half to form a loop to hang.

3) Using a jug, pour water into your container. Ensure that the ends of your string are immersed in the water.

4) Place in the freezer until fully frozen.

5) Hang your decoration in the garden or outside and enjoy!
