Fairy Garden

I did this fairy garden myself. I made the fence out of popsicle sticks, bought the house (bird feeder house), made the wire walkway arched trelis out of jewelry wire, and made the table and chairs. The table top was a little pocket mirror I found at Michael's. I also found a pond at a thrift store with a dog drinking out of an old water pump which you can sort of see on the left hand side in the picture. The butterfly is just a clip on I found at Michaels. I also got the two little potted plants at Michael's as well. The pots didn't come with the flowers, but I had some flowers laying around the house I glued in there. The pebbles for the pebbled walkway & the moss used as grass I got at the Dollar Tree. I got the plants and flowers surrounding the house at Lowes along with the pot it is in!

    This is what I've been starting to do with my 9 year old grand daughter, she has better ideas then I do! Such a fun bonding thing to do with kids! It would be neat to use a bird bath too.. (if the birdies aren't using it that is!)

    @Susan T - how right you are about the bonding experience w/your granddaughter. Mine is 8 and we try to do lots of things together. We made brownies when she got home from school today. Early dismissal -school's almost out for the year!! We've been working on the toilet paper roll owls and we're thinking of ideas to use pistaschio shells on!! LOL

    My granddaughter is only 4 so she gets a little disinterested after a bit, but I have so much fun with all these cute ideas I just keep on going - she'll be a little older soon, so I'll continue to play "house" and "bake cookies" with her for now and do my "gardening" on the side These sites have all been so much fun to see and great ideas for someone like me - thanks for sharing!

    I must be a child at heart because I have two boys that could careless about a fairy garden. I did it for myself! LOL

    @Elise - I think you've got that right!! My granddaughter is 8 and she'll be all super enthusiastic about starting a project but it doesn't take long before the attention begins to wane. Frankly, I think it's our own form of therapy and gives us a great deal of self satisfaction and accomplishment!!!

    How sweet! I wonder if I could do something similar with a little plastic blow up pool & a bubbler pump to keep the water from getting stagnant. Would be a cute seashore/boating scenario.
