Fairy Garden: The Start

Posted on

I’ve been wanting to build a fairy garden for some time. So with lots of time on my hands in quarantine I started the project. I looked to Pinterest for some inspiration and took it from there.

I purchased a cheap bird bath, drilled holes for drainage, added dirt, and got to work.
Every fairy garden needs a house. Gluing stones to a plastic plant container.

Completed house in the garden and added a fence
Added a plant and some landscape rocks

Lots more to create…more to come

Back to Craftiness…

Since my travel wings have been clipped, I’ve been getting back to my crafty roots. I was inspired by the many painted rock ideas I saw on Pinterest so I thought I would get back into it after letting my project sit for a year. My goal was to complete enough rocks to decorate my front garden. I’m a few rocks shy of completion but I placed them all outside to see how the finished products look. Overall I say not too shabby. I used paint pens for the art which allowed for better control. I finished up by spraying them with Modge Podge acrylic sealer so they will weather the elements. Hope you are inspired to try painting some yourself!
