Have you ever wondered...How to build a fairy garden? Well, all you need is a little imagination, plants, and some inspirational ideas to get you started.

What Exactly is a Fairy Garden?

• A fairy garden is a tiny space devoted to plants and fairy structures in the hopes of luring fairies. Fairies are good luck to have around your home.

How do you know that Fairies have visited your garden?

Here’s how we know the fairies have paid a visit to our Miniature Fairy Garden…

• Each morning we find a little pixie dust glitter sprinkled around the fairy garden creations. That’s how we know the fairies have been there.

What do Fairies Like? Should you leave something for the fairies?

• Fairies love gifts. You can leave them pressed flowers, nuts, a new decoration, shiny gems, and stones, or a new structure built for their pleasure and enjoyment

Finally, here are some simple and creative fairy garden ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

Make a Drive-In Theater for your fairies

In summer, we love going to the drive-in movie theater. We decided the fairies should have one, too! Here’s our “Fly-In Theater” for the fairies.

• You’ll need to find a movie scene from a magazine or a printout
• Use Modge-Podge to seal the movie scene to a flat rock or prop it against a rock
• You’ll need to find something for the fairies to sit in – we used seashells that we had from previous beach vacations
• *Use water-resistant Modge-Podge to seal the movie photo

Fairy Direction Signs

• Just write directions on clothespins and attach them to a sturdy stick
• The door is made from a little bit of craft glass and placed at the bottom of the stick

• This year, we added a pop of color to our fairy sign. I bought medium-sized colored clothespins (at Michael’s Craft Store), and I wrote directions with a fine tip white paint pen
• I also found a 4 pack of pixie dust bottles in the fairy house section of Michael’s

Pixie Stones in a seashell are a nice little addition
