How to Make a Fairy Garden

Introduction

Do you want to start a fairy garden? It’s easy, fun and entertaining for the whole family! The first step is choosing your container. Then, you’ll need soil and plants. You can also add decor like stones, figurines and more. No matter what you choose to do with your fairy garden, it will be something that you enjoy looking at from day to day and watching as it grows!

Choose the right dish, bowl or pot.

  • Choose a clear container so you can see the plants.
  • Choose a container that is big enough for the plants.
  • Choose a container that is stable (won’t tip over easily).
  • Choose a container that is easy to clean.
  • Choose a container that is easy to move (if needed).

Decorate your container.

First, choose your container. You can use a variety of materials to make your container—wood, glass, clay, stone and so on. A good rule of thumb: if you have it lying around the house or garage then it’s probably worth trying out in your fairy garden.

It’s also fun to look for containers that are easy to find at local stores or online if you don’t have anything handy in your home already!

Now, decorate it! Use things from nature such as leaves and flowers (make sure they are clean), mosses and even small twigs. You can also add figurines like fairies, gnomes or elves into the scene using glue dots or hot glue gun to hold them down firmly within their designated space within each area of landscaping where their personalities fit best according to what type of activities these fictional characters might enjoy doing during their spare time when not busy saving kingdoms from evil goblins who want nothing more than enslave everyone else because they’ve been told all their lives how special they are just because…well…they’re human beings too? Eh?

Choose plants that don’t mind living together.

When choosing your plants, keep in mind that they will be living together for a long time. You don’t want to choose plants that are all the same size, as they will eventually grow into each other and look messy. Likewise, choose plants with varying heights so you can make use of vertical space if you have it. Consider whether or not the plants need sunlight at different times of day—some like morning sun and others prefer afternoon; some like a lot of light while others are happy just sitting out in partial shade. Also consider how much water each plant needs: some need regular watering while others only need occasional attention.

Finally, make sure that your chosen species don’t have any major issues with sharing space. Some plants are invasive in their natural habitat and may spread uncontrollably if given an opportunity; others might not survive well when grown alongside certain companions (for example, tulips and daffodils). When deciding which species to include in your garden layout plan (see step 2), consider their individual needs as well as how well they’ll get along with one another over time!

Use indoor plants to get started.

You don’t want to start your fairy garden with outdoor plants. Outdoor plants can be difficult to find, especially if you live in colder climates. You must also take care of them properly and bring them inside during the winter months, which requires a lot of work and attention. Indoor plants are much easier to get started with because they typically require very little maintenance or care (except maybe some watering).

Once you have decided which type of indoor plant you would like for your fairy garden, it’s time to get started!

Make a path to welcome fairies.

  • Draw a path using a small stone or pebble.
  • Make sure it’s wide enough for fairies to walk on.
  • Fairies like to walk in circles, so make your path curved.
  • Add a flower or two along the way.
  • You can also add a small stone or pebble as you go along if you want!

Add decor to your fairy garden.

  • Use twigs, rocks, and small items to create a path.
  • Fill in the edges with moss.
  • Create a water feature by adding small objects and rocks around it.
  • Use a small house or hut to create a home for the fairies. You can also add other fairy garden accessories like bridges over streams or ponds etc., gates to their houses and an apple tree with painted apples on branches hanging from string that you can hang from your ceiling or light fixtures in your room!

Create a water feature.

To create a water feature, use a small container, like a plastic cup. Then, add in rocks and gravel that are small enough to be moved by the pump you will use to circulate the water.

If you have access to electricity, consider using a fountain pump so that your fairy garden can have more than one level of water (for example, an upper pond with cascading water). Otherwise, consider using an outdoor waterfall pump instead of an indoor fountain pump. This type of pump is meant specifically for outdoor fountains and waterfalls because they’re less expensive than other pumps but still powerful enough to run continuously for years without needing replacement parts!

Fill in the edges with moss and other small green plants.

Once your bed is filled with soil, you can add the plants and greenery. Use a small paintbrush to apply moss to the edges of your fairy garden. You can also work with small plants (you can find these at most nurseries or hardware stores). You’ll want to use either a regular paintbrush or something like a toothpick and dip it in glue before applying it to the back of your plant, so that when you place it into your garden, it stays put! For rocks, simply drop them into place. And for dirt…well…just add some dirt!

Let your imagination run wild!

The most important thing to remember when creating your own fairy garden is to have fun with it! The best way to ensure that you have a beautiful and unique creation is by letting your imagination run wild.

You can use whatever materials you want, as long as they fit with the theme of your garden. You may want to start small and simple so that you can get comfortable with making gardens before attempting something more complicated.

Once you’ve created your first fairy garden, you’ll probably be tempted to make more and better ones! Don’t worry—that’s totally normal! There are plenty of ideas out there for how people have turned their yards into magical landscapes filled with fairies and gnomes who live amongst flowers that glow at night.
