This project was created by me and my pint-sized pals Morgan and Max Melamed--resident junkers-in-training!

These two little pumpkin heads live in a suburban farm house complete with 10 hens and two roosters and they LOVE to eat. They chose to craft this citified country picnic basket. Go figure!

Materials:
Vintage train case
Con-tact Brand self-adhesive cork roll
Measuring tape
Blue painters tape
Scrabble and Anagram letters
Polyurethane glue (we used Gorilla Glue)

Tool List:
Scissors or straight edge and craft knife

Method:

Step 1: Remove brads holding mirror and then remove mirror.

Step 2: Measure mirror with tape measure.

Step 3: Measure and cut cork.

If using a straight-edge, be sure to cut on a flat, stable surface.

Step 4: Remove paper backing from cork.

Step 5: Apply cork to mirror making sure to press out all of the bubbles.

Step 6: Measure and tape lines for letters.

Step 7: Apply a tiny amount of polyurethane glue to back of each letter and place on cork.

Don't use too much glue-just a dab will do.

Step 8: Apply glue to back of mirror and re-attach to train case.

Lay mirror on flat surface and allow ample time for glue to dry before re-attaching to train case.

Tip:Watch out for Yogi.
