Flever Molly Garden — DIY Miniature Storybook Kit
$14.68
Molly Garden opens into a walled garden: a trellis gate, beds of planting, a bench under an arch and a path running back between them. The cover is printed with MOLLY in a hand script and it is the prettiest of the four cases.
This one is almost entirely planting, so set aside an evening for leaves and stems and nothing else. The structure is already hinged and square. It is the book kit we would give to somebody who has built a room before and wants the same amount of detail in something that folds away.
It sits at the lower end of this shelf of 4 storybook kits, builders have left it 4.2 out of five across 249 notes, and it is in stock as we write this.
A storybook kit has to tell its whole story in two panels, so Molly Garden begins as a drawing of the rooms and ends as a handful of boxes — furniture, flowers, a shelf of bread — small enough to clear the hinge. We build this miniature house kit once ourselves before any DIY dollhouse box is packed.

What arrives in your Flever miniature kit
- A hinged case and the numbered laser-cut panels that fill it.
- Shallow miniature furniture, planting and small printed decorations.
- An LED light wire and battery pack for the spine.
- Glue, tweezers, tape and a sanding stick.
- Fabric and paper flowers for the planting.
- A photographed booklet covering both panels and the fold.
How the DIY build goes
- Pick the scene you want to see when the book is open — that is the view you will keep.
- If the kit is for a desk at the office rather than a shelf at home, choose one of the quieter garden designs.
- These make the best posted gift of anything we cut, because the finished model closes and protects itself.
Every Flever storybook kit is drawn, cut and test-built in our own workshop before a single one is packed for sale.
Notes from people who built it
“((( This is a DIY kit, it does not come put together. & the parts are supposed to be small because it's a miniature kit! ))) Just recieved my kit and I'm in love with it already. Surprised to see the tree trunk on the left side is actually very hard plastic, which is great.”
“I've done quite a few kits and this is the cutest! It went together pretty easy and the instructions were fairly clear and straightforward. Some of the paper pieces are tiny! But it was worth it and just adorable. I wish there was a better way of handling the battery pack though.”
Quoted as written by builders on the listings for these kits.
