DIY Fairy Garden
This was my favorite project and I really thought they turned out SO cute. They are super easy to throw together so I thought I’d list the steps for you!
Step 1: Paint your birdhouse brown (or another earthy color.) Also paint the paper plate brown so it blends in with the dirt. (This was painted by my kids so it has a lot of unpainted spots. If you’re doing it, it looks best when it’s completely painted brown.)
Step 2: Hot glue small twigs together on the front to make a door. You could also frame out a window with the twigs. Hot glue green moss onto the roof to cover it.
Step 3: Hot glue the house onto the paper plate, towards the back half of the plate.
Step 4: Fill the plate with a small amount of dirt and cover the dirt with pebbles, spanish moss, little wooden circles, etc. Basically do some landscaping for your fairy’s house. Once the dirt is in there you can basically just rest everything in there without having to secure it with glue.
We all had a lot of fun doing this project and I feel like it’s a totally doable and affordable way to do a fairy garden!
