Microcrafts, by Margaret McGuire and Alicia Kachmar introduces readers to a world of miniature arts and crafts. Each of the 25 projects, provided with instructions, photos and illustrations, are no larger than a spool of thread and span all categories of craft. Seen here is a teeny tiny plant that the authors suggest using cuttings from spider plants, jade, and string of pearls, which thrive in small containers. Bonsais, mini ferns, dwarf mosses, and micro-orchids are available at greenhouses and online. Read a tutorial on how to make this cutey here. No, this is not the first time that I’ve written about teeny tiny planters, nor will it be my last.
