My custom mini-bonsai designs
BlockTalk Summary
The LEGO fan known as Glamdring804 has designed three custom mini-bonsai trees inspired by the LEGO set 10373 Mini Bonsai Trees. These unique designs, including a Red Maple, Sakura, and Juniper mini-bonsai, are available for free download on Rebrickable.
The Sakura mini-bonsai design incorporates triple leaf pieces in transparent opal, which are currently only available in one set and are expensive on the aftermarket. Glamdring804 recommends waiting for these pieces to become available on Pick-a-Brick or substituting white or light nougat leaves.

These collars are currently priced at 60 cents each on the secondary market, with no expectation of a price decrease.
These custom designs offer LEGO enthusiasts the opportunity to expand their mini-bonsai collection with unique and aesthetically pleasing tree variations. If you're looking to build these designs, you might need some brick separator tools to help with the build.
