Because nothing says “casual mid-century party” to me as much as Chex Mix does, I had to have a bowl of it in the rec room. (OK, actually, my grandparents used to serve Ruffles potato chips and dip made from Lipton onion soup mix at their special home-movie viewing nights, but there is no way I am making crinkled potato chips in half scale.) The “Chex” were made by painting a small piece of fine lawn handkerchief with yellow (Folk Art Sunflower) and brown (Folk Art Nutmeg) paint, slightly watered down. When it was dry, I cut it into small squares, approximately 3-4 threads square. The pretzels are fine brown floral wire, “salted” with some sand and snipped into short lengths. The peanuts are painted microbeads. I had to mix brown, yellow and flat white Testors to get a decent peanut color. It’s all been glued together with a little matte ModgePodge, to keep it from spilling out. The bowl is a bead cap.
