Fiance's Fairy Garden

My fiance asked me to help build her a fairy garden. It looks like a lot, but really isn't so bad. We probably spent around $50-100 but only because my fiance really likes shop for fairies. This still isn't finished, we still add to the garden from time to time.

Things used:
wood stump (firewood I hadn't cut)
flower pots (plastic & ceramic)
plants
fairies - Amazon & gardening stores
solar "fairy lights" - Amazon
fairy pavers
doll house bench & fence

Tools:
marker
circular saw
dremel tool
chizel
sandpaper

We had this log. The idea was to make a spiral staircase. I took some time with a marker and sketched how we wanted the stairs. Wanted to be certain that the door we purchased would sit correctly.

Using a circular saw, I carved larger chunks of the stump away. I used the dremel to get more detail into the steps. The chisel helped get edges right. Once I was happy with the outcome, I sanded until everything was smooth. I found a chunk of bark that spoke "door" to me, and used it as a balcony door.

We stacked 2 flower pots after filling them & planting some creeping plants in them. Here we added a windmill and a fairy. I'll be honest, my fiance is the one with the green thumb.

Using some of the purchased items, decorate the garden as if you lived with this tiny home. This changed several times before we decided on our favorite placement.

After consideration and contemplation we decided that we wanted the upper pot to be stepped.

We removed the pot and emptied it. I cracked the ceramic pot on the blacktop. Partly refilling the pot with dirt and sand I used the chipped peices to create the steps. Once it was finished, we covered the dirt in blue glass stones.

Anything you purchased to decorate the garden, now is the time.

This is also when we started adding plants to the garden.

Add your lights. Don't block the doors or your fairies won't be able to use them.
