The Smallest Fairy Garden finished garden on shelf I wanted to create a miniature fairy garden. I want to start out on a small scale and graduate to larger sizes. This one can be an indoor or outdoor display. I created this piece with a 3 inch pot.

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 1

Supplies:

1 inch pot
filler foam, rocks, etc.
moss/dirt
fairy figures
outdoor pieces (optional)
rocks
sticks
glue gun
flowers (optional)

The Smallest Fairy Garden - terra cotta pot

Steps:

Take your filler (foam or dirt) and fill your pot.

I took moss I had on hand and cut to size for the top of my pot.

With my hot glue gun, I went around the rim of the pot, then placed my cut moss on top, pressing to secure.
Now its time for decorating. Hot glue the cottage in place. Create a pebble rock walkway, add tree branches from outdoors, and fake flowers using hot glue to give this fairy garden the look of small cherry blossoms throughout.
