Forming a Twig Mosaic Table Top for a Dolls House Table

Grass glued to paper to form mosaic

Phalaris Grass Glued to Paper for Table Top

Lesley Shepherd

While the miniature table legs are drying to the top, you can prepare the mosaic twig top for your dolls house table. Take the paper squares you cut in Step 3 and cut several lengths of narrow grass stems to a size slightly longer than the paper. Glue four or five lengths of grass at a time to the paper, keeping the grass tight together to form an even surface. (see photo). When both paper squares are covered, set them aside for the glue to dry.

When the glue has dried, paint the grass with a coat of acrylic paint to match the legs of your table. Set aside to dry.

When the paint has dried, cut the squares of grass/paper across the diagonal to form four triangular shapes from each square. Choose four squares with the same grass pattern (either up and down, or across) to be the surface for your table.
