1. Add Doors to Trees
This is one of the easiest ways to make a DIY fairy garden. Basically, you glue a cute door to a tree and call it a day. You can choose to use a pre-made dollhouse door for this project or fashion one on your own. You can make a door using wooden pieces from the craft store, a bit of paint, a bit of twine, and other nature-themed accessories.

2. Make Miniature Toadstools
How cute! These miniature toadstools are made of polymer clay and toothpicks. The first step to making DIY toadstools is to form a small mound of clay. Embed one end of the toothpick to the flat side of the clay mound. Bake until they are hard. Once they cool, take them out of the oven and start painting.

3. Give It a Beach Theme
Say your fairies are of the coastal variety. You don't want to make them a garden that is heavy on the woodland themes, of course. What you want to do is fashion a sanctuary that will remind them of the beach and the waters. We suggest adding lots of shells and pieces of driftwood to your DIY fairy garden.

How lovely is this tiny fairy house? I am loving that door! This is made of a clay pot turned upside down. Using pre-mixed grout as adhesive, the house was covered with gravel and sand. Flat glass marbles were also glued to act as windows. Tiny shells were added as finishing touches.
