I love having little girls because I am still a little girl at heart. I have so much fun enabling my two little gals and their creativity! We decided it would be fun to create our own Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden! Spring is here in Northern California and so are all of the beautiful flowers that come with it.

Ruby and I went to the nursery and craft store to pick out supplies. We even chose two darling fairies (Tinker Bell and Fawn) to adorn the garden. If you are one of the few souls who isn’t experiencing blizzard conditions right now this would be such a fun project to make with the kids during spring break. For those of you (and I used to live in Alaska so I can sympathize) who won’t experience spring until May or June be sure to add this to your to-do list for the summer or fall!

How to Make a Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden

Faith, trust, and pixie dust are all you need to create a Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden. And maybe a pot, a few accessories and some flowers.

Supplies Needed:

Pot (we used a 14″ plastic terra cotta colored planter)

Potting Soil

Gardening Shovel

Flowers

Ground Covering foliage (We used a 6 pk. of Alyssum and Baby’s Tears)

unfinished wooden birdhouses

craft paint

clear spray paint

rocks

4.5″ Tinker Bell Fairy Dolls (Walmart)

Accessories (mushrooms or little woodland creatures)

Faith, trust, and pixie dust are all you need to create a Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden. And maybe a pot, a few accessories and some flowers.

The girls started by painting their bird houses. I had to really refrain from helping too much. I like painting and would have been happy to paint both of their houses for them, but where would the fun have been in that? They did such a great job and I love the colors they chose.

Once the houses were try we applied 2 coats of clear spray paint to them. I also sprayed the bottom of the houses as well since they would be sitting in dirt.

The girls filled the pot with soil and we began figuring out the layout that we wanted. We decided to have our taller flowers in the back with some of the Baby’s Tears. They nestled their little fairy houses in between the Baby’s Tears and then we filled in the rest of the space with Alyssum and more Baby’s Tears.

We left a small area to make a pathway so that Tinker Bell and Fawn could visit each other. Small stones worked great and they also added stones to any bare areas that we had.

We gave our new garden a good watering and then added a small sprinkling of fairy dust (glitter) to bring it to life!

The girls decided that they wanted to leave the fairies in the garden at night so that they could play and fly around if they wanted to.

And since Fawn is friends with so many animals, we added a cute little pot hugging bunny.

I think Tinker Bell and Fawn like there new garden even if they are too big to fit into their homes 🙂

A beautiful little garden with just the right amount of magic. We love how it turned out and hope that it blooms all spring and summer.

It was the perfect project for this little group of flower planting, spring lovin’, and fairy pretending group of girls!

    I used to live in Alaska too! I was raised in Juneau. It’s still my favorite place on earth, but we live in Florida now. This is the cutest craft I’ve seen in a really long time! You did a great job. I would love to do something like this with my daughter. I know she would love it too! #client

    Ohhhh you just got me so excited – I’ve always wanted to put together a fairy garden and I bought a few things on sale at Joann’s a few months ago. Great job and what a fun activity to do with your girls. I have two boys, so we are going to make a “Fairy Hunting Camp” hehe. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
