핸즈 크래프트 | 지베르니 가든

I've never done a miniature kit before, but this one was surprisingly forgiving for a beginner. The finished garden looks hand-painted once it's slotted between my books, and the little details in the foliage genuinely surprised me. Took me two evenings, and I'm already eyeing the next one.

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.
