Make Your Own Fairy Garden Sphere

Floral· Home Decor· Kids Rooms

My daughter has had a love for fairies since she was a little girl, so when I saw the sweet fairy garden supplies that are available at Consumer Crafts, I knew that we would have to create a sweet little garden for her room. I didn’t want anything large since it would be going on a shelf, so I chose an 8″ grapevine ball as the container. Today I’ll show you how to make your own fairy garden sphere.

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-1I fell in love with this DIY Fairy House Planter idea recently and knew it would be the perfect base for our fairy garden sphere, though the ball can be a standalone garden piece if you wish. Want to make your own fairy garden sphere? Let’s get started!

Supplies needed to make your own Fairy Garden Sphere:ClickLinks1

  • 8 Inch Grapevine Ball
  • Moon Lights LED Light Strand
  • Preserved Green Sheet Moss
  • Craft Spanish Moss
  • Fairy Garden Supplies
  • Craft Butterflies
  • Gemstones Accents

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-2Using wire cutters, cut an opening in the grapevine ball. This will be the entrance to the fairy garden.

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-3Using sheet moss, line the bottom of the ball and about half way up the sides.

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-4Insert the battery pack of the LED string lights into the moss at the back of the ball, making sure the switch is facing out. Now thread the lights throughout the top and sides of the ball.

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-5Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-6Add in your fairy garden accessories. The swing I used is a tad big for the 8″ sphere so if you’re considering using it, I’d suggest going up a size or two on the ball. It does fit, but limit’s the amount of other accessories that can fit into the space. I used a dab of hot glue on the back of the stepping stones and blue gems to keep them in place.

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-7I also added butterflies to the outside of the garden with a bit of hot glue.

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-8Next, you’ll want to add in your fairy or make your own fairy out of clay like I did! I shared the video of the process on my site,  seven thirty three. I also made some clay toadstools to add a splash of color.

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-9I love how everything looks lit up at night!

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-10My daughter has the fairy garden in her room and uses it as a night light. I sneak in each night to turn the lights off.

Make-Your-Own-Fairy-Sphere-Crafts-Unleashed-11My daughter lost her tooth shortly after we made her fairy garden so she left the treasure box with her tooth next to the garden on the shelf. The next morning she awoke to a note from the Tooth Fairy that said that she took a little break and used the swing! This MADE my daughters morning!

    I may be considered an old lady at 61 but I want a fairy garden too. It will sit on my porch. Where I do not have time to sit. I saw many fairy garden items at a store called Dollar Tree. So cute and my mind took off.

      They do say age is just a number, right?! We’re never too old for something that brings us joy! I bet you’re fairy garden will be perfect. –Kim
