Create your dream garden as a miniature! Designing is very relaxing, the resulting enchanting mini-garden is a feast for the eyes in the home and also outside, integrated into the real garden.

This is the way to create your miniature world:


A flat wooden box is the ideal home for your mini garden. Take a Polystyrene sheet, cut the plate to the size of the wooden box and lay out the floor with the Polystyrene .

Cover the Polystyrene with black foil, for example with Blackboard film. This way the garden is also suitable for outdoor decoration.
First sketch the individual areas and elements of your miniature garden on a sheet of paper Paper and later on the black foil. Spread sequin glue on the first area to be decorated .

In our idea we started with the design of the corners and then sprinkled them with potting soil and miniature decorative stones. In one corner bricks were pressed into the glue as paving.

Extra tip:
Sequined glue allows that wrongly placed bricks can still be moved, later it will fix the decoration very well

As soon as the first surface is dry, apply glue to the second surface - here the inner part of the wooden box. Miniature wooden trunks can be laid to form a path, the remaining area can be covered with fine Sand sprinkle. Surplus Sand on the edges to the other decorative surfaces can be easily removed.


Decorate according to your personal taste!
Now decorate the mini-garden according to your personal taste. Artificial plants can simply be put into the Polystyrene , position miniature accessories like a mini pavilion, a fence or other and fix everything with sequin glue if possible: Once it's dry, everything stays in place.

Finally, label the garden box with the name of your personal garden.
