\"Australia<\/p>\n

If you are a fan of these tasty Aussie sweet treats, why not have a go at making a few, it’s the perfect Australia Day craft activity. I’ve found some fun projects with instructions which you can try.<\/p>\n

Australia Day Craft – 6 Aussie Foods to Make<\/h2>\n

1. Lamington Pin Cushions<\/h3>\n

\"Lamington<\/p>\n

These lamington pin cushions are the cutest. Do you like your lamingtons with jam or without? I’m a jam girl all the way! Get the instructions and pattern here<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Knitted Vanilla Slice<\/h3>\n

\"knitted<\/p>\n

At it’s best, eating a good vanilla slice can be a transcendent experience, at it’s worst, well you can understand why this cake is colloquially known by some as the ‘snot block’. Eew! Like them or loathe them, you have to admit, these knitted vanilla slices are a plate full of fun. Make a few for a kid in your life and play ‘cake shop’. You can get this knitted Vanilla Slice PFD pattern on Etsy (aff link) <\/a><\/p>\n

3. Fairy Bread Coin Purse<\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I made this cute and practical Fairy Bread Coin Purse for Australia Day last year and facebook went crazy for it. Get the full Fairy Bread Coin Purse instructions here.<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Fairy Bread Pi\u00f1ata<\/h3>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

These little Fairy Bread Pi\u00f1atas would make awesome party favours for any celebration, but especially an Australia Day party! You could make them ahead of time, or get your guests involved with some Australia Day craft and they could make and decorate them themselves. Via DIY Kiosk<\/p>\n

5. Fairy Bread Sew-On Patches<\/h3>\n

\"Fairy<\/p>\n

Because two fairy bread themed crafts just aren’t enough, I thought I’d throw in my DIY beaded fairy bread sew-on patches. Perfect to embellish any and every item of clothing with. Get the Fairy Bread Patch tutorial with instructions here.<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Crochet Iced Vovo Biscuit Brooch<\/h3>\n

\"Iced<\/p>\n

No tea party is complete without a plate of Iced Vovos. There is a distinctive lack of Iced Vovo biscuit crafts on the web, I may need to remedy that soon. I did find this cute crochet pattern, so if you fancy wearing one as a brooch you can find the PDF crochet pattern here<\/a> on Etsy (affiliate link).<\/p>\n
