FAIRY GARDEN
I've seen a lot of fairy gardens and wanted to try one to put on my deck to compliment my other potted flowers and plants....
Here's what I came up with....
I found a rustic (and rusty) little house on line for sale and made it my fairy house.
I put it in a pot over some mulch and proceeded to decorate around it.
In the back there already were some small plants growing, but I also used fake small flowers around the house to add some interest. To the left there is a "boulder", actually a small rock,
and a fence I made from popsicle sticks. I also used clear glass marbles to make a "walkway" for the owner, Mr. Blue. He's a troll with blonde hair who is now occupying the house!
I made a gazing ball (on the right) by attaching a small silver Christmas ornament to the top of a cork! The "mushroom" in the left foreground is a leftover cabinet knob.
Finally, to top it off I found a fairy to help protect the home and garden, which I bought at Ben Franklin Crafts....
In the back right I placed a few "moss mounds" I found at Dollar Tree.
The elements have weathered the fence nicely and I can change some of the flowers with the
changing seasons!!
Lots of fun and very inexpensive to do!!
Here's a side view showing the real plants in the back and the "fence".
