How to Create a Recycled Fairy Garden

Our poor chimenea was accidentally broken by my honey about two years ago while he was mowing. He bumped it with the mower and it toppled over (in slow motion) and broke into several pieces. He was so upset about it. I saved all the pieces because I'd always wanted a fairy garden and I thought it would be perfect for it.
Fairy garden? Yes, finally! I have been waiting to make a fairy garden for quite a while now huh? I really think it turned out pretty cute and now I'm already wanting to add to it! lol!
I found this cute little fairy garden set at an Aldi grocery store. It was my very first visit to the store. I saw the kit while I was shopping but passed it up and kept shopping. I gathered my groceries, checked out and got all my goodies loaded into the car and then went back in to purchase the kit. I was finally making my fairy garden I'd been wanting!
This is exactly how the broken chimenea lived for a couple of years, just waiting to be revived.
I placed all the parts of the kit where I wanted them, then made a path using some river rock that I "borrowed" from the surround of the a/c unit we built several years ago (see that HERE). Next I planted the little succulents all around the fairy's little garden. Lastly, I added the remaining broken pieces of the chimenea to the ground in front of the garden, like a patio area for my sweet little garden. I filled it all in with more of the new soil.
