These lovely Venus flytraps are part of a kit sold by Jade Doe.<\/a> I met her in person last October at a craft fair and farmer’s market in Colorado Springs, and I was thrilled to see that she did cut-paper plants in 1:6 scale. Naturally my dolls needed Venus flytraps, so I purchased the kit and only now got around to doing part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kit contained ten precut green stems and twenty precut red pieces for the “mouths” to be glued inside the “jaws” on each stem. I finished five stems, coloring them with reference to pictures of actual Venus flytraps. The artist gave instructions to put all ten stems in a small pot that she provided in the kit. However, I thought that the flytraps looked overcrowded, so I used some terra cotta pots I already had, filling most of them with tin foil and then gluing a layer of kinetic sand [from MGA’s Miniverse plants sets] on top of that, stabbing a hole in the foil with scissors, and wedging the plant stems in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have filled my quota of 1:6 scale Venus flytraps, so I’ll pass along the remaining ones to another doll lover. Meanwhile I’m thinking of sticking a fly or two in one of them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
