Create a whimsical Fairy Garden with sweet mini birdhouses! This makes a fun and easy summertime craft, and a perfect outdoor activity. Kids will love designing their own mini fairy houses out of small birdhouses. Sweet little embellishments and miniature, colorful fairies make the Fairy Garden magical. Add some whimsy to any space with these adorable Fairy Gardens!
First, paint the mini wooden bird houses with bright, happy colors using craft paint.
Using hot glue (and parent supervision), glue flower petals on the top of each birdhouse roof. We used light pink, gold, and hot pink flower petals.
Add moss to the white round scallop tray. Cover the whole bottom of the scallop tray with moss.
Place bird houses and sisal trees on the tray in between moss pieces. You can use adhesive to keep the houses and trees in place. I think it's fun for kids to move the items around as they play with their fairy garden.
Add embellishments to the wooden bird houses. We loved adding mini butterflies, mini ladybugs, mushrooms, flowers and jewels. The kids loved decorating their mini fairy houses.
Add colorful fairies to the DIY fairy garden. These bendable fairies make the perfect addition to our DIY kid craft fairy garden.
Let kids place the fairy garden in their favorite indoor or outdoor play space. They even look adorable on the front porch or in the garden. Use as a fun and whimsical kids centerpiece.
