The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.
Materials Needed
Flat bases, such as a piece of bark from a tree. Craft sticks Twigs, leave, or other wall items Tiny stones, gravel, etc. for walkways Tiny dried flowers (a bag of potpourri works great) Anything natural that you find outdoors Wood glue Spray varnish
Instructions
Start by searching your yard for a large, flat base. You can make the initial wall structures out of craft sticks. Glue these onto the base. Choose an item for walls, such as twigs or leaves, and use them to cover the outside of the craft stick walls. Use other items you find outside to create walkways, trees, flower beds, windows, antennas, gazing balls, swings, porches, little piles of firewood, and other fairy garden accessories. Just let your imagination go wild. Spray with varnish and you’re done. Here are two more ways to have fun with fairies:
Mini Flower Garden Pots: these are just the perfect size for a fairy garden. Be sure to plant small flowers inside and add them to your garden. Fairy Wand Craft Stick: kids can create their own fairy wand from a simple stick. Decorate it with all kinds of embellishments and kids can use it in their fairy garden playtime.
