Spring is upon us! What better way to celebrate the season than with a dollhouse sized planter box and trellis that's in full bloom. A bundle of flowers fit inside the 1 1/2" x 5/8" box, like darling daffodils, blue hydrangeas, pink geraniums, lovely lavender gypso, climbing red roses, AND english ivy. There is even a wee fairy taking a rest amongst the flowers. His mother better not catch him, he's supposed to be polishing the beetles' shells!
This was such a rewarding project for many reasons. The first being how incredibly easy the assembly of the mini flower box and trellis was. I had it glued together, painted, and aged in about 20 minutes (with the help of a heat gun). The flat back brass studs were added to the corners and I freehanded some scroll work to the front with a gold pen. It was also gratifying to be able to have a completed project in under an hour. All I had to do after the flower box dried was tuck a bit of floral foam in the box and arrange all of the beauties inside. And I still have a handful- tons in miniature terms- of leftover flowers for another project. Now all I need is a dollhouse garden to go around it!
