Make a little magic in your fairy garden with these fun DIY details. I don’t know if you’ve checked out any of the supplies to make fairy gardens, but once you start adding all the pieces it can really add up! Instead, try making a few pieces yourself. Not only will the details feel extra special, you’ll want to show everyone all the cool fairy worlds you’ve created! Check out some of my favorite DIY fairy garden ideas below!

Fairy Garden Ladder
Have you ever thought about making a little treehouse in your garden? Or maybe your colorful garden has multiple layers? Either way, you can recreate a beautiful rustic looking ladder with some twigs and some hot glue. Aren’t you clever now? I like to place a fairy near the ladder to make it look like she’s about to go inside!

Start Collecting Glassware
Oh wow, I'm going to have to try this, the Emerald city from the wizard of oz. So I just need to start collecting green glassware, mmmm…….. I wonder would wine bottles work !

It’s time to head to those garage sales and thrift shops for this next idea. This fairy garden is made all from green glassware and makes a beautiful emerald city from The Wizard of Oz! Amazing right? You could also use clear glassware stacked or hot glued to make a beautiful crystal city.
Fairy Tree
Turn That Ugly Tree Stump into a Cute Fairy House!http://diyprojects.ideas2live4.com/2016/05/26/make-a-cute-fairy-house-from-an-ugly-tree-stump/Do you have an unsightly tree stump in your yard?

If you are even a smidge handy with crafts you can recreate these little fairy windows out of wood and a hot glue gun. The fairy doors I usually prefer to buy because they and are slightly more complicated to make, but the windows you can totally make. I would attach the windows with some small nails. Make sure to weather proof everything for this magical tree!

Fairy Teepee
I get it; it’s not easy being a fairy. You may just need a little rest, maybe a nap or a place to just curl up with a good book and unwind for a little bit. Make a cozy little retreat with a piece of scrap fabric and some twigs to make a sweet but trendy teepee. Your fairies will thank you as they rest their tired wings!

Upcycled Fairy Cottage
I love how this project uses almost all natural items and upcycled items. Check out this cool fairy cottage! I would think most somewhat crafty people have everything laying around their house except potpourri. You can totally choose to add potpourri, some flowers from the dollar store, or just use what your find in nature!
Sweet Woodland Creatures
Your fairies will likely love having some friends! Check out these adorable details you can add to your garden. The fun bunnies spoke to me, but any of these ideas add a little extra character to your garden. You can roll these fun creatures out of self-hardening clay. I prefer Fimo clay or Sculpey for a project like this, as they have lots of bright colors and it’s easy to work with. When you are finished making your creations, you simply bake them in the oven to set them.

Use A Suitcase

This is a fun idea that simply takes a little bit of digging. (No pun intended but we are making gardens!) I’d check our thrift stores and garage sales for a fun suitcase and remember you can always paint it if you want to give it a facelift or find one that already has fun vintage details!

I love these sweet lady bugs! All you need are some rocks and a paintbrush, and your fairy garden will be crawling with these sweet critters.
So have you created a fairy garden? What kinds of DIY details are you adding to your fairy garden? Tell me about it in the comments!
Love the ladder. Thanks for posting.
OMG the Ugly Tree Stump change is so awesome. I would love love to do something like this! I have never really thought about adding fairy garden details to my plants but I so want to now!
I love fairy gardens! I have been thinking of putting one in my garden since they are so darn cute!
You really need a little girl or boy to enjoy those sweet gardens with. I love the popsicle bench but all the ideas were so imaginative.
I love all of these! They are so cute. We love making fairy gardens to place on trails in the mountains. It’s a nice surprise for kids hiking.
I’m kind of obsessed with fairy gardens! They used to do them in the preschool classes at the school where I worked. I’m hoping to try some of these ideas with my kids this summer!
I love all the fairy garden ideas. I have made a door for the tree, but I didn’t think of adding windows!!
Fairy gardens are something I’ve always wanted to make one. So, with the tips you shared will be a big help in making this a reality this summer!
So cute! I think I’m going to do this with my boys. They would love it!! I love magical things and gardening so this combines both and would be super cute to have in the house.
These are so cute! My daughter loves faries, so this would be something fun to do with her one day. She would love it!
Ah! I need to do this with my girls. They love everything there is about Fairies! I think its such a cute idea.
My daughter has always talked about doing a small fairy garden. These are all super adorable! That tent is way too expensive, but so much fun!
This is so making me wish I had a backyard or bigger gardening area!! That fairy ladder and the Emerald City are seriously adorable. I would love to have a couple of these in my future garden area. 🙂
I love the ladder and the Emerald City the best, though I love them all! What perfect little ideas! Not only for kids but they would be a cute addition to a patio area as well!
My daughter had a fairy party 2 years ago and it was so much fun. They made their own fairy houses as the craft.
How awesome are these ideas! I think it would be nice to create a fairy garden. I’m pretty sure that my daughter won’t be able to stop herself from playing with it though, lol.
These are adorable! My daughters would love to make a fairy garden this summer.
Fairy gardens are seriously the cutest! My sister has a fairy garden and she loves it.
My daughter wants to build a fairy garden this year. I think we are going to build it in the vegetable garden.
I love all of these ideas! My girls and I just started making fairy gardens and it is so much fun!
This sounds like a great idea to have this in a garden. I wouldn’t have thought of this! I need to make myself a garden first haha.
I have never knonw about these fairy gardens until reading your post. I feel like this is something my children and myself would love to do!
These are just too cute! As I was fixing my garden last weekend I was thinking that it would be perfect for a Fairy garden; thank you for sharing these insprations!
These are all so sweet and cute. My daughter made me a ladybug rock when she was in Kindergarden and I still have it!
