Make a Whimsical Fairy Garden Kit

April 12, 2017 By Brandy 14 Comments

Make a whimsical fairy garden kit to brighten someone's day! Everything you need, including fairy dust, neatly packaged in a planter and tied with a pretty bow.

Kaylee, and her 2 darling best friends, (we'll go ahead and call them all kindred spirits) love playing "fairies" at recess. They play fairies absolutely every day. So when she was invited to Katie's birthday party last month we knew exactly what to bring. A fairy garden kit!

I had a galvanized metal bucket in my craft room that was just the right size to use as the base.

I added a small bag of potting mix (from the Dollar Tree store) and tucked everything else on top.

Kaylee's favorite colors are turquoise and purple, and we knew Katie would like that scheme too.

I placed an order with MyFairyGardens.com for all of the whimsical accessories and they arrived that same week. Just in time for the party!

We found a fairy house and the cutest little fairy friends figurine.

We also found a few tiny woodland animals, a free sparkle sign, and a tiny bottle of fairy wishes!

I don't think I'll ever get tired of making fairy gardens and fairy garden kits. There are just so many fun themes and seasons to create.

Every little girl I know loves these and has a lot of fun playing with them. We usually keep one on our porch and the girls' friends have fun pointing out the figures and rearranging them.

We added a burlap bow and our whimsical fairy garden was ready to bring to the party.

Katie loved her garden and the girls had fun playing with the figures. Kaylee told me that she did warn Katie that if you play with them too much that they will break. We might know this from personal experience 😉

Thanks so much for such a prompt reply. If it's as good as it sounds-I'll probably get addicted too ! I have to say-I'm addicted to pinning-but I never have time to go to P to see what I have put on there for the past 6 yrs. or so! Some day I will skip all emails & just go there & go to a lot of the sights of things I pinned (haha). I can't wait to get started on my Fairy Garden. I may make a kit for my Granddaughter, who will be turning 2 in May, as well. Her Dad Gardens in the yard & my Daughter is happy to leave all of the gardening to him. But they both love homegrown or Farm to Table food-they live in VT.

So many fun and whimsical ways to arrange a fairy garden, so many adorable elements to be found at Joanns, Michaels and even Big Lots. Fairy gardens seem to be sweeping the country.
Our youngest of 4 has liked fairies for long time, even has me making a fairy garden. She was 47 this past Tuesday so got her 2 fairy houses, fence, little table, chair, knome. Glued on some flowers on sides of biggest house.
Got her silver with jewels on it flip flop necklace. Good thing didn't wait til Mother's day for Fairie goodies as she's flying to San Fran to drive back home with oldest in college at Divinity College by San Rafael, CA. Usually her and 2 girls make fairie gardens on Mothers day for years now. Was glad she's driving back with her, g/d is 20, little and very pretty.
Wishing you wonderful Easter.
