DIY: Decorative Well with EM ART

Introduction

Are you looking for an original way to bring coziness and charm to your home or garden? A decorative well is the perfect DIY project to unleash your imagination! In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily and enjoyably make your own decorative well using accessible and fun materials.

Required Materials

Everything you need can be found in EM ART stores or online:

• Cardboard tube
• Colorful wooden spatulas
• Bamboo stick
• Thick cardboard
• Cap (for the bucket)
• Twine
• Copper wire
• Hot glue gun
• Artificial greenery
• Fabric flowers

Step 1: Creating the Base

1. Gluing the Tubes
   Stack two tubes (if one isn’t tall enough) on top of each other and glue them with hot glue to form the base of the well.

1. Wrapping with Colorful Spatulas
   
   • Select two spatula colors (e.g., yellow and orange).
   • Trim them so they stick out about 2 cm above the base edge.
   • Glue them around the tubes, alternating the colors.

1. Creating the Bottom
   
   • Cut a circle from cardboard matching the base diameter and glue it underneath.

Step 2: Building the Roof

1. Attaching Support Spatulas
   
   • Glue two vertical spatulas inside the well — one opposite the other.

1. Making the Roof
   
   • Cut two pieces of cardboard sized proportionally to the well.
   • Cover them with spatulas in the same two colors.
   • Glue the cardboard pieces at an angle onto the two vertical spatulas.

1. Finishing the Roof
   
   • Place one more spatula across the top, between the two roof halves, to hide the gap and stabilize the structure.

Step 3: Bucket and Decoration

1. Making the Bucket
   
   • Take a cap of suitable size and shape and wrap it with twine.
   • Use wire to create a handle and glue it on both sides of the cap.

1. Attaching the Bucket
   
   • Cut a wooden stick slightly longer than the well and add a handle made from two small pieces.
   • Tie a piece of twine to it and connect it to the bucket.
   • Mount the stick horizontally between the two vertical spatulas.

Tips and Additional Ideas

• Color harmony: Choose colors that match your interior.
• Decoration: Add artificial flowers, greenery, moss, or figures for a fairy-tale look.
• Functionality: Use the well as a decorative holder for small items.

With this charming project, you’ll bring character and joy into any space. With a little imagination and help from EM ART, the DIY well becomes a beautiful addition to your home, a gift, or even a part of festive decoration.
