What You Will Need

Instructions

  • Start by making a fairy door. To determine the width of the fairy house door, place a few craft sticks side-by-side until the desired width is reached. Then, use hot glue to put them together with another craft stick across the back as shown below.
  • After drying, trim the craft sticks to the desired length and round the top with your scissors.
  • Use the ink pad to stain the door brown. After the ink is dry, add a small ball of air-dry clay or a wood bead as a doorknob with hot glue.
  • Now, you just need to assemble your fairy garden terrarium in your mason jar.
  • Start by adding some rocks to the bottom and covering those with moss.
  • Place some moss up the back of the jar and place the door against that moss.
  • Use hot glue to secure the objects. Tweezers or pliers may be helpful when reaching into the jar.
  • Add miniatures of your choice to finish off the jar.
