Pixiedustdevil	Posted - May 04 2016 : 6:43:00 PM Just finished my Fairy Garden. Everything is handmade except for the birdhouse, solar lights, and the terra-cotta pot. I used a solar light to light up the stained glass window, in the birdhouse. Does anyone else have a Fairy Garden? ---------------------- Sisterhood #6941 Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.

Kiltie Girl	Posted - Oct 01 2016 : 5:08:20 PM These are beautiful! I love fairies and all things fairy - my kitchen and living room are full of "hidden" fairies! My kids and I made fairy houses for a few years (when they were younger and it was "cooler") that just lasted the summer. We used the flowering bushes in the side yard and decorated with items found in the yard - sticks, stones, sand, flowers, cut grass, Barbie furniture, leaves, pine cones, Tonka toy trucks, etc. They had a lot of fun doing it. I've always wanted to have a more permanent style fairy house in a pot or in the flower garden. Maybe that can be my next year garden project! *********************** Jenn Farmgirl Sister #7120 "Leave room in your garden for the fairies to dance."

MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Sep 29 2016 : 11:33:31 AM Kathy, your fairy garden is so cute! Your little chicken coop is the perfect touch! I also like how you made yours out of old broken things. That's a great way to repurpose. Krista
ceejay48	Posted - Sep 27 2016 : 5:13:20 PM Love the fairy gardens! Good job farmgirls! Too late in the season for me to start one know. It would have to be outside and soon we will be having freezing temps . . . and winter! So NOT ready!

marlee	Posted - Sep 27 2016 : 4:14:04 PM Oh my goodness I have been all over the board looking for fairy gardens. I have two houses and couple of other things. Haven't started putting it together yet. Oh this is so awesome. I just love it. Hugs Marlee God is the painter, he paints the picture. And his son builds it, for he is the Master Carpenter!

beachymom	Posted - Jun 02 2016 : 05:57:23 AM My fairy garden even has it's own chicken coop. I made mine out of an old broken garden fountain that looks like an old pile of broken pots. I laid it on it's side & the fairies just moved in. You have to look close to see the fairies, but they're there! Pixie - your fairy gardens are so adorable. You have some kind of talent!

Pixiedustdevil	Posted - May 11 2016 : 3:33:01 PM I used Elfin thyme and Blue star creeper which are both low growers that like partial sun, and are very hearty. The pink flowered one is Herons bill which is a low grower. The green one with the pink veins is Nerve plant, which is an indoor plant, and shouldn't be used outdoors. Elfin thyme and blue star creeper are found in the perennial section, and are considered a ground cover (which you can walk on). It helps to draw what you want your garden to look like. If you plan on dividing your plants into beds (or fenced in area); I recommend cutting dividers to mark off your areas. I used an old plastic place matt. I then put in my flowers, then my fence. ---------------------- Sisterhood #6941 Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.
Lady in Pearls	Posted - May 11 2016 : 2:05:18 PM Adorable! I've been planning a fairy garden, but haven't put it together yet. Just found a big pot for my shaded back porch. Which plants did you use? Are they all shade plants? I recognize the pink corrugated one. “If more of us valued good food and cheer above hoards of gold, it would be a merrier world." - Tolkien http://myfrenchreligion.blogspot.com/

Pixiedustdevil	Posted - May 06 2016 : 10:54:15 AM Ok I made a typing error. If you use moss: DO NOT put the birdhouse outside. ---------------------- Sisterhood #6941 Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.
Pixiedustdevil	Posted - May 06 2016 : 10:52:17 AM I bought the birdhouse at a craft store. But if you want to make them light up; the trick is using those cheap solar lights, that you just stick in the ground. I used a cutting bit on a dremel to cut a hole, large enough for just the cap from the solar light to fit. If you want to put the birdhouse on a stake, drill the hole for that too. I put in a fake stained glass window, which is white plastic colored with sharpies (clear plastic doesn't work). Spray the little window with some finishing spray so it doesn't fade or run. Paint the house and also spray with a finishing spray, then glue the solar light in place. You do that last because you don't want to spray the glass on the solar panel. If you use moss like I did, then you shouldn't use the birdhouse outdoors. If you want to use it outdoors, make sure to add multiple coats of finishing spray, to protect your birdhouse from water. ---------------------- Sisterhood #6941 Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.
