These tiny little “planters” are just faux plants trimmed down and glued into pots (and anything can make a cute pot – a painted bottle cap or an upside down acorn cap, for example).įake moss comes in sheets and also as stones!
We used wood slices from the dollar store to make these steps for this little wheelbarrow succulent fairy garden: It is SO much easier to buy wooden coins than make them, if you ask me. 13) Wood Slices make great steps and bridges Just like it sounds! Grab a tiny pot, paint it up and voila! Easy fairy house. I painted these tiny gardening tools green because I wanted to cover up the markings on the empty can I used.ġ2) Terra-cotta pots painted + tipped upside down make cute houses It holds up well outside and it dries really fast! I paint SO many things that I create for my fairy gardens with acrylic paint. Here’s a little dollar store bird house that I covered in concrete and painted: I make soooo many things for my fairy gardens with popsicle sticks! This little sign for example – and here’s a ton more popsicle stick fairy garden ideas.ġ0) Dollar store bird houses make great fairy housesĬreating your own fairy houses can be daunting – but decorating a bird house from the dollar store is really easy! I created the roof for this little fairy house with buttons! 9) You can build ANYTHING with popsicle sticks I have seen seashells used as a roofing material for fairy houses. I also used dollar store sea shells for the beach theme fairy garden! The above pictured beach theme garden used faux grass from the dollar tree! 7) Seashells make great roofing materials for fairy homes In this sea-side themed fairy garden, I used colored crushed glass to make the “water”.Ħ) Faux plants can give fairy gardens life all year roundĪnother thing I never actually imagined buying for my fairy gardens – but some fairy gardens, depending on the container they are in, or the environment they are in, just call for faux plants. This is something that surprised me- I always thought of rocks as being so readily occurring in nature, I would never have believed you if you said I’d one day buy them from the dollar store for my fairy gardens… but I have and I do. We used them in this garden a long the “river bank”: 4) Pick up perfect pebbles + river rocks Just like aquarium rocks, crushed sea shells make a great ground cover. Just pour a layer of them on top of the dirt AFTER you’ve planted your plants (and before you add your fairy garden décor). We also used them in the bottom of this birdcage garden:
2) Use aquarium rocks as ground coverĪquarium rocks are the PERFECT substrate to create tiny paths or give your fairy gardens a “clean” look – we used aquarium rocks in the above dollar store fairy garden we built in an old wheelbarrow! I have spent (don’t judge me!) over $60 on a single fairy garden planter just because I needed a certain “kind” (like a birdcage or a wheelbarrow) but the dollar store is a GREAT place to get affordable planters. You can find terrarium bowls at the dollar store, and you can even make a fairy garden in a tea-cup – see: Here’s 21 dollar store fairy garden ideas that look amazing 1) Buy your planters at the dollar storeīaskets, large bowls, or decorative buckets all make great fairy garden containers and can readily be found at the dollar store. However, the dollar store is also a FANTASTIC place to pick up supplies to make DIY fairy garden accessories.
It’s super fast to make your own fairy garden when the “décor” is ready made – you just plonk the stuff into your planter, and add some plants! Here’s our little dollar tree fairy garden – isn’t it cute? A little pinecone house, one with an upside down flower for a roof, and this one with a leaf roof. This little bridge is from the dollar store too, and all the the tiny houses for this dollar store fairy garden are from the dollar tree! There were so many to choose from, but we just bought three of them. If you look in the spring, the dollar tree (and most other dollar stores) do have sweet fairy garden figurines – like this tiny red truck… If you’re planning to make a fairy garden with your kids (or without the kids), I STRONGLY suggest a trip to the dollar store to see what you can find there before you buy any more expensive supplies else where. The dollar store is one of the BEST places to get cheap fairy garden supplies (and I’ll give you a ton of dollar store fairy garden ideas in this post) – just look at this cute fairy garden we made almost entirely with fairy garden accessories from Dollar Tree:īut, you don’t HAVE TO stick just to the pre-made fairy figurines!
