Mandrake

When I saw this mandrake paperclip holder online, I was inspired to try making one myself. The original uses sculpey and a real plant pot. I decided to take a slightly different approach for my version. I found these items in my craft bin:

The first step was to put two holes in the doll: one in it's head to anchor the plant and one in the belly for the magnet. Once those pieces were secure, I painted the doll and the plastic cup. A circle of craft foam provided a top to hide the "mandrake" and paperclips.
