Introduction

Sometimes it doesn't take too much to spark my imagination. Just one look at a new clock insert offered by Wildwood Designs was all it took to kick off this idea for a miniature horse barn. A rough pencil sketch guickly evolved into a few rough patterns and, before long, 1 had this cool little barn, just begging to be decorated! So... I added a weather vane to the roof, a bale of hay out front, ana some fences on the sides, hung up some leather laces and ropes to represent some miniature tack, and my horse barn really started to come to life! While wandering through a discount store I stumbled across a mini pitch fork... and now I am keeping my eyes open for other accessories to aad to my project. (Who knows? Maybe there's some mini horseshoes out there somewhere.)

Making and decorating this project is really a lot of fun. As we show you how to make your own miniature horse barn, hopefully we wiii spa'k your imagination, too.
