PALM TREES

Palm trees can be found in a number of DIY bauble kits. Some instruction manuals come with palm leaf templates for you to trace and cut out on the green paper provided. This can be quite fiddly and time consuming, however can give a quite a satisfying result.

Here we'd like to show you a simpler way to get a similar result (or even better!) depending on your preference.

1. Find the green paper 

2. Draw 2 sizes of simple skinny leaf shapes, approx. 3cm and 4cm long, freehand on the green paper. Around 12 - 15 leaves are enough for one tree.


3. Cut the leaves out 
4. Serrate them by clipping little triangles off the edges freely leaving the tips of the leaf. The irregular serration will give the palm tree a more realistic look.


 

5. Use your nails, scissor blades or tweezers to curl the leaves the way you like. 

6. Randomly glue the leaves around the tree trunk. Start the first layer with 3 - 4 leaves at the top of the trunk, then repeat gluing 4 - 5 leaves for the second and third layer slightly lower than the previous layer. Use combinations of short leaves for the upper layer(s) and long leaves for the lower layer(s), or just use short leaves for small trees and long leaves for big trees. 

And now a palm tree is done! Hurray!!

B008 PANDORA MAGIC GARDEN

This glass bauble contains a tiny pink cottage.  The main feature being a circular train track running around the building with a tiny train and carriages.

This cottage contains two lit rooms.  Downstairs is a detailed kitchen and dining area, while upstairs there is a pretty attic bedroom.

Passing through double doors from the downstairs area beside the cottage there is a fenced off little courtyard garden area, with a stunning wattle tree growing in the corner.

This flat bottomed bauble may be placed or hung and makes a charming and unique gift for all ages from a newborn baby girl, young child or an adult.
