Miss Maple’s Miniature World has a Retreat Showstopper Special!

This miniature world is called The Shack. Designed especially for our ocean-themed craft retreat, this charming seaside shanty retreat fits inside a 20 x 25 cm frame and is available exclusively for you.

🌊 Kit Includes:

Everything needed to create The Shack

Excludes: the IKEA frame and Charlie the dog, the second pot plant

Feel free to personalise your scene with extra seashells collected from your own beachcombing adventures.

💰 Cost: $70

(Cash is preferred, please.)

I am offering this kit first to our in-house attendees who will be with us over the weekend, before extending the offer to my Craft-at-Home Pirates.

If you're keen to claim a kit, please let me know. I'll happily hold your treasure until the end of the weekend.

Simply bring your coin to the retreat, and we can make the exchange of treasures! 🏴‍☠️

Fair winds and happy crafting!

My treasure chest is complete!
I transformed an old wooden box (sadly, I forgot to take a before photo!). It started out as a plain, unpainted box with a glass top, but it was the perfect size to hold all my pirate coins for next weekend's 3-day craft retreat.
For the finish, I used Stamperia paints in Earth Brown, Coral Red, Shadow, and Bronze. The decorative paper is from Stamperia's Songs of the Sea collection.
The metal hardware came from my personal stash and was coated with a bronze metal wax to give it an aged, weathered look.
Additional materials used:
• Chipboard
• Half pearls
• Black cardstock
• Thin white scrap cardboard
I'm really pleased with how this pirate-inspired treasure chest turned out and can't wait to fill it with coins for the retreat!
