A Picture Tutorial of a Small Fairy Garden

I showed you how to make a fairy garden fountain and the videos of creating a fairy garden against an existing structure.  Today I thought I would share the first fairy garden I made.  It all began quite by accident.  I was going to make a planter for a bonsai tree.  The foam fell, lesson 1. don't pile it too high, and the idea of the fairy garden was born.  This first picture is the foam without any detail.

I know, my husband said the same thing, it looks like a cake with run away icing...lol.  I spray painted it and thought the little area to the right would made a great "pond" so this next picture shows how I painted it.

Starting to look like something.   Then I took some colored glass and a little bridge and made my pond.

You can see that I added a gnome, a door, and window on the front.  I have a picture, following, showing that up close.

I then built a "park" on top, added my bonsai and a wizard and walla....a new fairy garden.

I hope this gives some incentive to give it a try.  I found, in shopping, that the cottages and houses are very expensive and you still have to build the garden around them.  By using the foam, I've learned to incorporate it all into one.      Enjoy your day and be sure to look for the magic!! It's everywhere!!!
