DIY Fairy Garden

As you may have seen in my last post (Weekend Recap: Father’s Day Photos), my mom and I made our very own fairy garden for my dad that doubles as a hummingbird feeder. Because he loves hummingbirds so much, we decided we would make the coolest feeder possible for them! (And, I think my mom just really wanted to make a fairy garden.)

In order to make this little fairy garden, my mom and I got most everything from Michaels, and what we didn’t get there, we already had at home. The piece of wood was found on our property, and we thought it would be perfect for this little project!

 Here is the whole thing completed! I love how it looks as a whole, and when you look at each individual detail! There are so many little adorable details all over it, so it’s cool to look at it closely!

 We put little lights on it as well so it lights up at night. We of course bring it in at night since we don’t want the outdoors to damage the lights!

My mom and I were so pleased with how it turned out! My dad ended up loving it, although the hummingbirds are still a little unsure about it. We put little tiny straws into the jars that are surrounded by flowers, so we’re just waiting for them to get a little bit more used to it. I’m sure with time they’ll be more willing to check it out! For now, it’s just really adorable to look at and use as a sweet little decoration.
This project would be so perfect for little kids as well! I’m sure they would have an absolute blast making this, and then playing with it once it’s finished. I remember I had this little fairy book when I was a little girl, and I absolutely adored it. There’s just something so fun about fairies for little kids! And even as adults, we’re all still enjoying this little project!

Have you ever made a fairy garden before?

Thank you so much for reading, and have a wonderful day! 🙂
