You can also try and make a larger version of this mini garden or even make this around a DIY fountain, and add a mini fairy doll for the finishing touch. I bet that would make this DIY mini garden prettier! My family and friends who’ve seen some of my fairy gardens and mini gardens found them so cute that they even asked me to make one for them!

Materials for DIY Mini Garden:

• Terra cotta saucer
• Bowls or cups, optional
• Small doll house
• Mini plastic and chair toys
• Small blue round glass saucer
• Decorative rocks
• Moss
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Fairy lights
• Soil

How to Make a Mini Garden:

Place the terra cotta saucer on your work surface, then spread a layer of soil, and pat it down gently. Place the mini doll house on the far back, then set up the table and chairs on one side at the front of the house, and place the pond on the other side. To make the DIY pond, hot glue some decorative rocks around the edges of the glass saucer, then fill the center with a generous amount of hot glue to imitate water, and let it dry completely. Make a pathway toward the door using decorative rocks, then cover the soil with moss, and put some fairy lights around. You can place the mini garden on top of a terra cotta pot to add some height, then place it anywhere you want, and light it up.
