Champs-Elysees Florist DIY Miniature House Kit 7 in by Wizardi F07M51-86-CWGC201

A mint green Parisian florist under a Champs-Elysees Florist sign garlanded with painted roses: tall arched windows and a glazed door that opens frame shelves of potted flowers, watering cans and baskets, a Flower Market chalkboard, a little cart of blooms and pots of greenery stand on the step outside.

A little crafter's folklore: Paris florists say a bunch of flowers is the best way to say good morning, and miniaturists like to set the cart right by the door.

Why this kit: if you love Paris and flowers, this shop is elegant and full of tiny blooms, with a touch-switch light that glows behind the arches.

In the box: pre-cut wooden pieces for the shopfront, opening door and interior, printed paper details, miniature furniture and tiny accessories, an LED light with a touch switch and a hidden battery case, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of a little bookshelf shop series that stands among your books, each with an opening door that keeps the dust out: try it with the Green Life Bookshop or The Astrology Bookshop. Build tip: build the inner shelves and back room first, stock them with the tiny props before closing the shopfront, and fit the touch-switch light last.

Size: 15.5 x 16 x 18 cm (6.1 x 6.3 x 7.1 in). A charming shelf display that sits neatly beside your books, and a sweet gift. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
