Do-It-Yourself Fairy Garden For Kids


This fun do-it-yourself fairy garden is so much fun to create with kids. My oldest daughter created a fairy garden by using her creativity and a few materials. You can create this magical fairy garden too!

You will need:
  • 1 pot. Choose a pot size that fits your needs for your fairy garden.
  • Miniature fairy garden accessories of your choice.- My daughter used a pond, fairy house, mini table, fairy bench, fairy chair, a pot, and a basket
  • Flowers. Depending on whether you want real flowers you would need potting soil. My daughter used faux flowers for her garden. 
  • Styrofoam. -We went with a round piece. 
  • Artificial craft moss 
Note* You can pick up most of these supplies at any craft store.

Optional for your fairy garden:
  • Miniature craft birds
  • Craft butterflies
  • Miniature bird nest
  • Craft gems 
  • Craft rocks
  • lights
  • Water feature.- This would be a great addition to fairy gardens with real flowers. 

Creating your fairy garden:

Start off by placing your styrofoam in your pot to see how it will fit. If you find that your styrofoam does not fit, you'll want to trim off a little around the edge to help make adjustments. After placing your styrofoam into your pot you will want to take your moss and place that over your styrofoam. You may need to cut your moss to fit around your styrofoam.  Make sure that your moss covers it completely.

Next, you'll want to start placing your fairy accessories on the moss. If you find that your flowers are long and would like to shorten them, you can cut them using craft snips. Once you have decided on where you would like your flowers to be placed you can start placing them into the moss and through the styrofoam. Just give it a push and it should go through to the styrofoam.

 All that is left is to place your rocks, gems, birds, butterflies, and any remaining accessories onto your fairy garden display. Now you're all done! Choose an area where you would like to display your beautiful fairy garden, and sit back and enjoy. Happy Reading!

    This is so cute! What a fun thing for kids. In fact, I'm sure my 23yo daughter would love it, too. :) Visiting from the Tell it To Me Tuesday (Heart and Home) link party.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...
