Use these instructions for the miniature moss heart topiary to make almost any shape of moss topiary you want to attempt. The topiaries are shaped over a wire frame and can be set into planters made from printable designs for miniature Versailles planters which can be used to make printable planters from card in a range of miniature scales, or as a pattern for a Versailles planter made of wood or wood veneer. In addition to making great topiaries for dolls house scenes, the little planters are lovely for place settings for wedding or baby showers when decorated with flowers or alphabet block beads. They are also a good size to use for the sides of jumps for model horses.
