DIY's and sources.
I'm a scrounge collector and many of the miniatures are thrift store finds, Dollar store items, or crafted by me. The large center plant stand came from Target and painted to match all the other store props.
Greenhouse: adapted from an unbuilt Ikea mini greenhouse, added a taller bottom half scaled to the dolls. All shelving and interiors were added with scrap wood, Door was added later. Lid opens and has battery light attached.
Florals are all bits in pieces mounted in foam, with/without moss, plants and bushes: Here
Plant stands: were purchased on Temu...and each came with pots..perfect scale for Dolls at 1:6 scale.
By all means enhance your dioramas with faux greenery and flowers...great way to seasonally change out a diorama.
Thanks so much for visiting,
I will post at the following Link Parties, I hope you visit them.
