Miniature Mushroom Magic
Mushrooms are everywhere. They remind us of how beautiful this world is. We can recreate miniature mushroom magic from driftwood, clay, fabric and all types of natural materials. We love them because they are magic! Miniature mushrooms pop up in all the best fairy gardens and now we can look at them as art in dioramas. Mushrooms, houses, stars and the Moon! A lovely little diorama with deep moody colors from Pixie Hill. A little display of mushrooms made of fabric. It is so simple and the colors are a cheerful promise of Spring. It would be a perfect little wallhanging. You can find more fun ideas at Nest in…

Make Your Own Fairy Caravan
Make your own fairy caravan out of willow bird nests. You can find them at your local garden center. I found two different shapes. One is short and round with a removable top, the other is taller with a pointy top. Both have nice square openings in the front for birds and are perfect for a little door. The pink caravan was one of the first caravans that I made. I found the rusty metal wheels on Ebay. Acorns are added for an earthy touch and Tinsel is wrapped around the top for shine. A vine of leaves is made from muslin and wraps around the caravan. The door is…

Make your own Fairy Pumpkin House for Fall and Halloween
It’s officially Fall! So let’s get ready to decorate our gardens with Fairy Pumpkin houses for Halloween! Since the weather is getting cooler and the evenings are getting shorter now is a great time to hunt for a real pumpkin to carve for this project or a Funkin Pumpkin from the craft or Dollar Store. This pumpkin above has been painted black and hollowed out. Every year our family has a pumpkin carving contest. It is one of our highlights! Last year our team turned a little white pumpkin into a fairy carriage that lit up inside. It was really cute and the kids loved it. We take this contest…

You can Make a Fairy House out of a Rock!
I am thinking I need to start looking for rocks to make my own fairy house. What an easy fun way to add more whimsy to your garden. I have been looking at so many different pictures of these rock fairy houses and it doesn’t seem to matter what shape or size rock you have. I guess you pick a rock and let it tell you what it wants to be, hehe! But seriously, I think one of the only things that is important would be that you make sure that you sit the rock down and see how it sits best without tipping over and then see if the…

Make a Fairy Clock House for your Fairy Garden with Found Objects
There are so many wonderful Fairy Garden projects that I have a hard time choosing which projects I’m going to do next. But when I ran across these Fairy Clock Houses I decided this would be it. First of all, I have a clock just like the ones in the pictures that I got at Walmart a few years ago…cheap cheap…so I don’t mind taking it apart. And second, several of the houses are made using paper from Graphic 45. Check them out they have wonderful unique papers. This picture above is paper from Graphic 45 called Secret Garden. You can go to the Graphic 45 site and get a…

Fairy Gardens at Magnolia Markets
Fairy Gardens At Magnolia Market in Waco My friend and I made a trip recently to Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas. Chip & Joanna Gaines, hosts of HGTV’s hit remodeling show “Fixer Upper” are the owners of the Magnolia Market. While there we had the pleasure of visiting their wonderful gardens. I was so happy to see all the miniature fairy gardens placed all around the gardens. I took a few pictures to inspire you.

Fairy Shoes Made from Natural Garden Objects
Fairie Shoes You can make. Look what we found in the forest today……fairies must be afoot! You can make these Fairie Shoes with the pattern below. Use card stock to make the base. Cut out and tape the top of the shoe to the bottom with masking tape. The shoes are made with Lambs Ear. If you aren’t familiar with Lambs Ear it is an herb with leaves that are a velvety soft light sage green color. The leaves are big enough to work around the shoe base. The leaves can be put on with any white glue. You can see on the shoes below that they were embellished with pompoms,…

Pumpkin Fairy Carriage
Enchanted Pumpkin Fairy Carriage I found this Gold Distressed Metal Pumpkin Carriage and had to have it! It looks just like a fairy carriage and I knew when I saw it that I would be able to use it in the house or outside in the fairy garden. It was a nice metal but I wanted some color to use in the garden.
