How to Make a Fun DIY Miniature Fairy Garden

Materials You Will Need for Your DIY Mini Fairy Garden:

  • Small rocks or pebbles
  • Potting soil
  • Indoor plant or succulents
  • Planter
  • Two different kinds of moss
  • Willow twigs
  • A handmade or purchased mini swing or bench
  • A handmade or purchased mini ribbon banner
  • Scissors
  • Glue gun

Step-By-Step Guide on How to Make a Miniature Fairy Garden

Step 1: Prepare Planter and Set Indoor Plan

Prepare your planter and potting soil on a working table. You can use an old basin or any other container as long as it's flat.

Fill the planter with potting soil and dig a hole on one side of the planter, then place your indoor plant or succulent. You can pick a potted pink kalanchoe or cyclamen.

Step 2: Set the Bench to Position the Planter

Take your handmade or purchased mini swing or bench and place it beside the plant. Positioning your plant and swing to one side of the planter will allow some space for your other accessories.

You can make a simple mini bench or swing with willow twigs or strings.

Step 3: Create a Mini Patio With Pebbles

Now, take your small rocks or pebbles and arrange them below the swing or bench to make a mini patio. Light-colored small rocks or pebbles will be ideal to give a real-life structure to your patio. You can also make a mini patio by lining the pebbles in a curve around the planter.

Step 4: Add the Ribbon Banner to Create a Post

Take a piece of a willow twig and cut it two pieces of equal length about nine inches long. This will serve as your banner posts. Stick the twigs behind the mini bench and then attach your handmade or purchased banner to the sticks with a glue gun.

Step 5: Collect Moss From Your Garden

Moss isn't hard to find if you know where to look. Take a stroll down old wooded areas or old stone structures and you'll find these whimsical green clumps growing. Just make sure environmental restrictions allow you to pick moss.

Lucky for you, if you've got some growing around your yard, but they're also available in flower or garden shops.

Step 6: Tuck the Moss and Do the Finishing Touches

Take one kind of moss and spread some around the soil in gaps. Neatly tuck them in to serve as the garden grass. Roll a different kind of moss and neatly place them in some areas around your planter to serve as mini garden plants.
