My friend/co-worker Ellen was in charge of getting a wishing well for her friend Melissa's bridal shower.
I suggested that she should make one and I would help.
So here is how we did it.
What you need:
Basket
Assortment of decorative ribbons (we chose mostly white)
2 dowel rods
1 poster sized piece of foam board
Glue
Small bucket (or something that can represent a bucket)
White acrylic paint
Optional:
Needle and thread
Cat (see picture)
I should tell you that we bought all of our items late at night, so we were limited too the craft aisle at Wal-Mart.
Step 1:
Paint dowel rods and let dry.
Step 2:
Attach dowel rods to side of basket. Tie in place using ribbons. Each rod had three ribbons to hold them in place.
Step 3:
Next using ribbon, run a line of ribbon from the the top of each dowel rod and tie. (It should resemble a clothesline.)
Step 4:
Measure the center of foam board and score down the middle short wise. (This is the roof.)
Step 5:
Paint bucket white, and tie string to bucket and middle of clothesline. Make sure string is long enough so you can see bucket after the roof is placed on.
Step 6:
Place roof on top of clothesline.
Step 7:
Add decorative bows with ribbon.
Optional step:
We bought ribbon that had a wire in it so you could wrap it into a tight spiral. I then sewed the spiral ribbon to each of the top bows and let hang. The spirals then are gently pulled to make a nice ringlet. (This is done at the bridal shower)
