Troll insect shelter


You will need:

log
acrylic paint

Select/chop a log with a side branch for a nose.

If the log still has its bark on, this might be difficult to paint on. You could remove pieces of the bark, drill large holes for eyes or saw out a wedge shape for the mouth.

Paint on the features. When the paint is dry you could varnish over it to make it last longer.

Drill some holes in it if you want to provide extra places for insects such as solitary bees.
