This week in #thecraftycupboard @thegugg we need your help! The GuggBugHotel is open for business but the rooms are looking a bit sparse…They need decorating and naming. If you are out on a walk then please pick up a room kit from the box on top of the cupboard.
Always wash your hands.
For a great list of ideas of how to furnish your room then look here:
1. Go to the Crafty Cupboard! 2. Take your room kit home. 3. You will also need: a willing [well at least not unwilling] adult, screws or tacks, a screwdriver or hammer, some paint and decorative bits……and an abandoned bird’s nest….haha – not really. For ideas of how to furnish your room go to the link in the copy above… 4. Your walls are marked A and B. Construct your room as shown using either your tacks or screws [this is where the adult comes in handy] 5. Your constructed room should look like this [TIP: in order for all the rooms to slot together I the hotel please make sure you overlap the room walls as shown] 6. Paint the edges only of your room. Too much paint may damage insects but a good bright colour attracts them! Please don’t use anything that might be a choking hazard for birds or small mammals. 8. Place your room back on with glue or tacks. 7. If you think your room needs a back because of how it will be furnished then use a piece of cardboard from a food packet that has some kind of protective coating so it will do better in the rain [it will be undercover though]. 9. Name and furnish your room! 10. On your next outing pop back to the Gugg and follow the signs to the Bug Hotel!
…..and in the words of The Eagles [ask your adults] ‘Such a lovely place’…..
