Miniature Fairy Gardens Felted Ideas

Tent Fit For a Fairy

Create the perfect place for a fairy to rest with skewers, twine and scrap fabric. Glue cut skewer pieces together to create a tent frame and secure with twine binding. Trim scrap fabric to lay evenly over the frame and secure with hot glue as needed.

Fairy Twinkle Lights

What's better than a fairy-gnome get-together? Create cafe lighting for a friendly gathering, fairy campsite or garden with battery-operated twinkle lights. Wrap the lights around skewers for lighted posts and create an atmosphere that fairies are certain to enjoy.

MAKE IT: DIY Gnome Garden Getaway

Wish I May, Wish I Might

Reuse a bottle cap to create a wishing well. Glue two skewer pieces into the base of the cap on each side, then cover the sides of the bottle cap in small pebbles. Secure a short piece of twine to another small piece of skewer then wrap the remaining twine around it, letting a small piece hang loose. Attach this piece horizontally to the front of the wishing well posts. May all the fairy wishes come true!

A Basket of Eggs

With some bakeable clay (Sculpey or Fimo) roll out a thin strand of clay to about 12 inches or so. Begin to coil the clay onto itself to form the basket. Once the basket is complete, make some clay eggs and a handle. Place on a baking sheet. Bake according to package directions.

Create a Bed

Recycle a mint tin into a fairy bed. Add some leaves for bedding and covers. Fresh blooms turn into soft pillows.

Tea for Two

With waterproof glue, glue in place a tea kettle, cups and plates on a miniature table for an indestructible garden tea party.

Craft a Twig Picture Frame

Create a picture frame by wrapping floral wire around four twigs to form a frame. Insert a postage stamp or even a pretty picture from a seed package. Fairies love to recycle things.

Fairy Playground

It would be a tragedy to forget a fairy playground. Create a play station by adding a stick and yarn ladder to a potted plant or fairy garden wall. Craft a simple fabric scrap flag to add a pop of color and don't forget the soccer ball.

A Garden Pool

Create a garden oasis by inverting a shell and filling it with water and floating flowers.

Flickering Fairy Flames

Fairies love s'mores too! Using craft foam, sticks and pebbles, construct a firepit with hot glue. Cut a circle of craft foam, cover it with glue, then top with moss. Glue a circle of pebbles around the perimeter to create the firepit. Add small logs and additional craft foam pieces for some flickering flames.

Dreamy Doorway

Relaxation Station

To create a fairy's dream napping spot, glue popsicle sticks to the ends of a piece of scrap fabric. Trim the excess of the wooden sticks and attach even lengths of string to the four corners. Cover any loose ends with a second popsicle stick. Hang for fairy relaxation.
