Create your own miniature caravan scene: a step-by-step guide

Making a caravan

Start by cutting a canopy for your caravan out of wooden sticks. Glue the wooden sticks together in the shape of a roof and allow the glue to dry completely. Then print out our template, cut it out and transfer it to gray cardboard. When cutting it out with the scalpel, ensure precision and safety. To create the front support, cut a small piece from the wooden sticks. Design your caravan by painting all the parts according to your ideas. Once dry, you can glue the different elements together. Mini bark slices are perfect for the wheels. Paint them and attach them securely to the caravan.

Design a miniature garden barbecue

For your miniature barbecue, use wooden spatulas and cut them into small cubes with a scalpel. These small cubes are dyed black to look like real barbecue charcoal. Once they are dry, you can place them in the barbecue to create an authentic mini garden barbecue.

VBS Painting the miniature seating area

Design the miniature seating area to suit your taste. A special tip: mix the paint with a little water to create a kind of glaze. This leaves the natural wood grain visible and gives the seating group an elegant look.

Customize the grass mat

Cut the grass mat so that it fits perfectly in your tray. If you want to make sure it doesn't slip, we recommend hot gluing the grass mat in place.

Design a path

Create a charming little path in front of your caravan by arranging mini bark slices. To keep them in place, you can also fix them with hot glue as required.

Attach a fence

Place a mini fence in the background of your scene. If the fence is too long, cut it to the desired length using a side cutter. Then glue the fence in place with hot glue to secure it.

Arrange the bushes

Add the finishing touches to your scene with small bushes by removing parts of the "Freddy" lichen pick and attaching them to your meadow with hot glue. Now arrange all the other elements so that they harmoniously round off your scene.

Extra tip: Your homemade caravan is not just a decoration - it is also perfect as an original gift wrapping, as it can be opened.
