Here’s how to craft miniature trellis for your dollhouse or fairy garden. Gather wooden skewers, paper covered wire and some tiny little flowers together with a bottle of white school glue to make the versions depicted in my daughter’s doll house below.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Cut two equal lengths of wooden skewers to the hight you desire your dollhouse rose trellis to be.
- Paint the skewers to match the brown, paper-wrapped wire.
- Next wrap the wire back and forth between the two wooden skewers to shape any pattern you wish. The two samples above are wrapped in a zig-zag pattern up to the tops of the skewers then, arch shapes extensions were bent above the top of the larger trellis to give it added height.
- Using the white glue attach the tiny roses randomly to the trellis.
- Try twisting small pieces of wire around a pencil to then wrap more decorative vine between the trellis openings.
