Small items easily made

When you have gathered a nice, big pile of junk, ideas will come along more or less effortlessly. But just to get you started, here is some of my favourite ideas:

	Two cokebottlelids glued together (preferably with a little bit of sand inside) spraypainted black and drybrushed with copper will look like a more or less convincing barrel. Admittedly, this one got a bit more copper than was my intention...
	Condensators from electronic junk are perfect barrels as well - they come in more varied sizes and shapes.
	Left-over pieces of foamcore can be used to make small boxes - covered with cardboard and riveted, either with a pencil or with dressmaker's pins, then they are very convincing. An additional feature is to add handles made from a bit of copper wire or the like.
	Larger leftovers of foamcore can be used to make a piece of wall.
	A small twig can be cut to resemble a treestump.
	A bit of this and a bit of that will soon be a great scrapheap.

Nb! Remember that everything, no matter how small and insignificant, will look better with carefully made details!
