Winter Ice Flowers

I wanted to build: 

-       New flowers for a winter bouquet or floral arrangement! 

-       Simple vases with “flower frogs” to help position stems (but these are actually built with frogs!)

-       A very stable base that can be displayed against a wall or as a centerpiece

-       That doubles as a playable winter landscape scene / minifigure display!

Piece count: approximately 1230 pieces (767 for flowers, 165 for vases, ~300 for base/minifigs/accessories)

Dimensions – wall display version: approximately 16” long by 7” deep by 16” high (including flowers)

Dimensions – centerpiece version: approximately 12” long by 12” deep by 16” high (including flowers)

-       Transparent petals and white stems give ten flower and leaf stems a frozen, ice-covered look that’s almost like glass 

-       Three simple but striking transparent vases in different sizes have frog “pins” to make flower arranging easier

-       The hinged snow-covered base unfolds to reposition vases and show secret hidden spaces

-       Two City-style minifigures and assorted accessories are included to inspire winter minifig-scale scenes

I built this with actual bricks from our brick collection, so there are no recolors or stickers, and some choices (such as the minifigures and accessories) reflect the pieces I had available. I’d love to see what the designers could come up with, but these were fun for a start!

I love that different people could enjoy building a beautiful flower arrangement, or constructing a winter landscape, or hiding rabbits in a snowy burrow, or peeking at a mysterious hatching egg beneath a spiderweb – all while working on the same set! Building together is so much fun, and if this became a set, you and your family or friends could create a special display for any winter celebration that everyone could feel proud of. 

-       Flower stem length can be changed and flowers can be removed from vases and combined in any arrangement you dream up

-       Vases can be easily removed from the base without rebuilding and displayed alone (due to jumper connections and tiles) 

-       Included minifigures and accessories can be positioned on the landscape base’s jumpers to create scenes, from winter’s spooky beginnings to the first hints of spring

This snowy landscape base could display your own minifigures and accessories for any winter scene – so if it becomes a reality, maybe you will use it to build your own unique dioramas! 

I hope you are inspired by this idea! If you think it's cool or you’d like to build it yourself someday, please log in and click the button to support it, or to let me know what you think! Thank you!
