Hands Craft | Giverny Garden

The tiny water lilies and arched bridge really do echo Monet's garden, and slotting it between my paperbacks on the shelf makes the whole row feel like a little gallery. Took me a couple evenings to assemble, but the fiddly bits were the fun part.

I've never done a book nook before and the instruction booklet actually made the whole thing feel doable. Took me two evenings to finish, and now it sits between my paperbacks glowing like a tiny Monet painting.

The little lily pond and bridge pieces came out prettier than I expected once the tiny paper flowers were glued in. Took me two evenings because the tiniest stems are fiddly to place, but it looks great sitting between my paperbacks.
