| Free step by step tutorials by Kimberly Crick: How to make furniture and scenery for miniature gardens or 1:12 scale doll house decorations. What is 1:12 scale? This is the most common size of doll house items, where 1" equals 1' of a real life item. For example, a foot long sub or baguette would be recreated as one inch. You can figure out how big to create your dollhouse item by measuring the real life item in inches, and dividing it by 12. Such as my 48" wide dining table divided by 12 is 4, so I would make a 4" wide miniature table. |
| How to make potted plants and flowers for miniature gardens or doll house scenery: This tutorial uses Flower Soft, wires & PVA glue, wooden flower pot shape, acrylic paint, x-acto knife/blade, paper, optional paper punches (or use scissors to create leaf shapes.) |
| Flower Soft also makes a great center for your paper punched flowers. The bottom left flower bunch uses the regular size, and the poppies in the upper right use the ultra fine flower soft in a variety of colors. |
| 1) Paint your flower pot with your choice of acrylic paint. Cut wire pieces to desired length, leaving room for inserting them into your flower pot shape. |
| This is a brand new section and more tutorials are on the way! |
| 2) Add a generous layer of high-tack PVA glue to your wire wherever you want the flower-soft to stick. |
| 3) Sprinkle the flower soft onto the glue. You could also create a fluffy pile of flower soft on your work surface & roll the wire over it to pick it up. You have to be very gentle to not push the glue off the wire when doing it that way. |
| I hope that you have enjoyed my tutorials. Please consider sending any size donation to help me create more artwork, tutorials, free patterns, and to support this website. Thank you :) |
| 4) Use a piece of syrofoam or floral craft foam to place your wires to dry upright. While you have them this way, if you have used the flower soft wires that have a white paper coating, you can color your stems with a marker. |
| 5) Cut a small block of the foam with a blade/x-acto knife to fit inside your flower pot. Use paper punches or scissors to cut leaf shapes out of green paper. |
| A tutorial on how to make your own custom flower pots in any shape, size or color using polymer clay is coming soon. |
| 6) Place foam in pot, insert wires, coat with glue and place paper leaves. Let dry. |
| 7) Add glue all around the base of the flowers and leaves. Sprinkle with ultra-fine "earth" flower soft to simulate dirt. Allow to dry and tap off excess. |
