Easy DIY Fairy Garden

Do you love fairy gardens? I have been starting to play with them and they are so fun! I love the look of moss but it is a super mess, just wants to flop everywhere, and then the cat... I love the look of moss in fairy gardens but it needs to be glued down, seriously! I made a faux uncovered fairy garden using a Smoothfoam Disc as a base and it worked great!
I staged this project on a broken cake plate that I glued together to hold craft supplies alongside my grandmother's collection of old pincushions. As I have gone through this transition where I am getting rid of things, it is even more important that the things I keep get used.
Collections of things from my grandma or from trips or whatever are moved around and used as decorations around my house. I have thought about making a pretty display of my great grandmother's antique tea cup collection on my mantle but then I remember that I have an 8 year old boy in the house and the sound of crashing and breaking might just be too much to bear. So I display the collections within reason. That tea cup collection will stay safely displayed in my curio cabinet until Matthew is, I don't know, 45 or something.
