My favorite part of making a doll house is adding the finishing touches. That's where I usually get the most and best ideas for pulling it all together the way I imagined it to be.
I love adding moss plants to this stump. I dragged out my mini box of goodies and pulled out everything I thought I could use on this. The little glass stones were in there like they were waiting for just the right project. So I ended up gluing little pieces of moss in between them.
Love these little weeds. I had them on the old stump and I liked them so much that I decided to keep them on the re-do.
THE BIRD's NEST
I have loved this bird's nest so much I decided to put it back on the re-do. I got the nest at a craft store years ago (I don't even remember where) and I made some new little eggs out of paper clay but they're not dry yet. The twisted stick is from my yard.
I've got moss, lichen and other little goodies from nature and some that were mixed together in a bag of potpourri. I got the moss and lichen from a craft store.
OTHER VEGETATION
Mushrooms are fun to make out of paper clay. I made these mushrooms a while back for another project and they were leftovers. I got my little gnome from the Dollar Tree.
I thought a little garden area and window boxes would add so much to this little stump. After all, if mice can wear knitted sweaters, then you know they can garden too. So I added a fairy garden on one end.
I'll keep adding bits and pieces until I call it done. I'm loving this so much that I'm thinking of making more woodsy cottages... only on a smaller and quicker to get done scale.
