Making a Fairy Garden | Flower Mound Photographer



My youngest daughter had a Fairy Garden Party so of course we needed to make a Fairy Garden for the center piece.

It was a lot of fun gathering ideas and supplies.  Here is my Pinterest Board of my favorites.

Here is what you'll need:

1. Wide Planter, can be shallow or bucket.  I considered an oval metal tub.

2. Moss, I bought Aurea Scotch Moss and Irish Moss.

3. Other shade loving plants, I included an Impatient and Fern.

4. Soil.

5. Bird House or Fairy House.  We converted wooden bird houses and cut a door.

6. Paint and decorations for the fairy house.

7. Fairies, www.safariltd.com

8. Rocks and/or pebbles for pathways.

  

Primed with spay paint primer, this one will have a mushroom red/white polka dot roof.

Found these at Michael's Craft Store.

We used acrylic metallic paint.




We still need to cut the door on this castle.
