Introduction
Fairies are magical, and their gardens are too! Recently fairy gardens have become more popular. They combine the cuteness of tiny things with a hint of magic for an adorable and classy feel. This guide is filled with high-quality tutorials that will teach you how to make your own fairy garden from scratch!
#1 Lavender Fairy Garden
The first step is to find a large flower pot, like this one. It should be big enough to fit your fairy garden inside. Next, you’ll need to add some soil, gravel and sand. You can also add some pebbles or rocks if you want! Finally, add in some moss so that it looks like the land outside of your home!
#2 Shoe Planter Fairy Garden
A shoe planter is an ideal way to add some color and whimsy to your fairy garden. A planter can be anything that you want it to be, so don’t worry if you don’t have the perfect shoe lying around. If you do have a few old pairs gathering dust or if your dog is always chewing up their shoe-shaped chew toys, then why not repurpose them for this project?
All you need for this project is:
- A shoe planter (or any other type of container)
- Some soil for planting
#3 Teacup Fairy Garden
- You’ll want to use a teacup or saucer. A child’s tea set works well but if you don’t have one, any small teacups will do!
- Small plants can be added to create a miniature garden look. Moss and pebbles are optional for this type of project and add an earthy feel to the fairy garden.
- Add some twine around the outside as well as a little figurine created especially for this project (they’re inexpensive) and voila! Your very own outdoor tea party with fairies has begun!
#4 Wheelbarrow Fairy Garden
This mini garden is a great way to incorporate garden accessories into your fairy garden. You’ll need:
- A small wheelbarrow and a few other items like plants, flowers and rocks.
The first thing you want to do is plant some flowers in the bottom of the wheelbarrow. Then add decorations such as fake grass, miniature statues and figurines, shells, etc., all around them. The final touch will be some twigs sticking out of the roof of your fairy house!
#5 Hanging Fairy Garden
Hanging fairy gardens make great decorations for children’s rooms. They’re easy to make, and can be hung from trees, ceilings or walls.
There are many different types of hanging fairy gardens that you can choose from: clay, wood and glass are just some of the materials used to create them. The advantage of these kinds of gardens is they don’t take up much space because they hang on the wall or ceiling!
If you’re looking for a unique way to decorate your child’s room then consider making a hanging fairy garden. You’ll love how it looks in their bedroom!
#6 Bathtub Fairy Garden
You can turn a small plastic bathtub into a fairy garden with this DIY. You will need:
- A plastic bathtub (the smaller, the better)
- Small stones to create your path
- A miniature door and window, plus a chimney if you want one (optional)
- A miniature garden and tree (optional)
- A birdhouse or house for your fairies to live in (optional)
#7 Cozy Book Nook Fairy Garden
Use a vintage suitcase, large jar or small trunk to create a cozy book nook in your fairy garden. Use a vintage chair and table to complete the look!
#8 Kitchen Sink Fairy Garden
- Use a kitchen sink to make a fairy garden. Take out the plumbing and replace it with soil and plants. You can use an old kitchen sink, or you can buy one at a thrift store for cheap. Then, just fill it with soil and plant some flowers or herbs in it!
- Use a plant, flower or small tree instead of the sink if you don’t want to use your sink as a fairy garden centerpiece. In that case, make sure you have enough room in your yard to fit all of these elements together into one big space – so if there’s not enough room then maybe try something else that doesn’t require so much space like this next DIY idea:
- Make a small table by using cinder blocks or wood planks (or anything else similar). Then place plants on top along with little figurines carved out of wood that represent fairies.”
#9 Tree Stump Fairy Garden
Tree stumps are a perfect base for your fairy garden. You can use the stump as a table or a planter, and you can even plant flowers in it.
The best part about tree stumps is that they come in all different sizes, so you can find one that fits perfectly with the size of your garden space.
#10 Birdhouse Fairy Garden
The tenth and final DIY fairy garden on our list is a birdhouse fairy garden. This is a great idea for people who want to create a fun miniature garden with moss and rocks, but don’t have much space in their yard or home. A birdhouse can be used as the base of your mini garden, and you can even add in some little accessories like twigs, leaves, and other things that birds might like!
#11 Chalkboard Wall Fairy Garden
- Chalkboard Wall Fairy Garden
This DIY fairy garden is a great way to add color and character to your home. It features a chalkboard wall, which can be used for personal messages and drawings, like flowers or butterflies. For this project, you will need:
- Chalkboard paint (in your choice of colors)
- Paintbrush or roller
- Plastic potting soil (or other medium for planting)
You can turn practically anything into a fairy garden, and these options will provide you with lots of inspiration!
Turn practically anything into a fairy garden, and these options will provide you with lots of inspiration!
- A tree stump can be turned into an adorable fairy house.
- Old shoes can be transformed into a tiny home for fairies.
- A glass jar is perfect for housing miniature plants and flowers that fairies love to grow.
- Fairy houses are easy to make from containers like mason jars or old birdhouses, so if you don’t have time for cutting boards or stepping stones, stick with something simple like those!
It’s important to remember that although some people put their gardens outside in the yard (or even under trees), others prefer to keep theirs inside their home or apartment as part of an indoor decoration theme. If this sounds more up your alley than having one out in nature itself where they might get trampled on by critters at night when no one’s looking…then go ahead! You won’t regret it once all those magical creatures start showing up while everyone else thinks they’re just dust specs on your furniture.”
Conclusion
Fairy gardens are so much fun to create! You can use a variety of containers and have access to a wide range of plants. There are no rules when it comes to creating your own fairy garden. Your imagination is the only limit.
