instructions
  1. Trellis - Step One
    Buy ordinary garden trellis and, using the Dremel Trio with its multipurpose cutting bit TR563, cut through the trellis to create space for metal hangings or panels, then sand off any rough edges using the TR407/408 coarse sanding bit.

    Step Two
    Paint the trellis your desired colour using external paint. We used a pale dove grey. Cut feet from lengths of wood and affix to the base of trellis panels using the Dremel Trio with the accessory TR563, so that the panels are freestanding - or hinge them so that they stand at an angle like a screen.

    Step Three
    Then, inset bought metalwork centres (we used brass kettle stands) into trellis panels and wire onto wood (or drill into wood if there are eye holes in the metal surround).Next, create your roof from draped canvas or buy a tent on poles and fit your trellis inside it. Add white curtains for a private feel.

  2. Lanterns - Step One
    Cut paper to fit one side of the lantern. Use a black pen to draw your pattern on the paper then tape it against the glass on the inside of the lantern.

    Step Two
    Use the Dremel 7700, with the Multichuck 4486 and the Diamond Wheel Point 7103, to engrave the outline of the pattern. When complete remove the pattern.

    Step Three
    Continue engraving as before to thicken the line work and fill in any details. Use the Dremel Glue Gun to fix sparkly gems in the design of your choice.
     
    Plants
    Create display of Musas and Alpinia Purpurata Red exotic woody stemmed tropical flowers to go inside your cutting through the tough stalks using a secateur.
