Flowers can add color to draw your eye into a miniature scene and these easy to make miniature hanging baskets can be made to suit any season in scales as small as 1:48. The baskets take only minutes to make, and you can vary them to create all kinds of seasonal interest. Make them with traditional paper or silk flowers in miniature, or use floral scatter for smaller scales. Winter baskets can be made with greenery, pine cones and velvet bows to match miniature Christmas wreaths.
