I personally hate having the dirt show in my fairy gardens! You COULD just leave it, that’s fine too.įor this teacup fairy garden, I used crushed seashells (tiny rocks or sand would work too, but I just think crushed shells have that “magical shimmery” look) and tiny unfinished wooden disk I found at the dollar store. (I didn’t bother with this because I am NEVER guilty of overwatering!) Cover up your dirt if you want If you are worried about overwatering, place a few large pebbles in the bottom of the teacup to allow for drainage before you put your dirt in. You’ll want to place your plant to one side of the teacup to make sure there’s room for you other garden “stuff”! I chose a (get the name of the tiny plant) because I loved the wild look it had AND I thought the little tiny red flowers added such a great pop of color that went so well with the toadstools. Succulents also don’t mind being pruned when they start to take over! Succulents need less attention (and water) and they do a lot better in tiny spaces than some other plants that need to be able to spread out. I do have a guide to choosing the best plants for a fairy garden, but in this case, I honestly would just choose one and make it a succulent.
Somehow, real plants make it all more believable (to me anyhow). Even tho it’s the tiny fairy garden accessories that catch your attention, your plant takes up the empty space and gives your fairy garden a “real life” feeling. Your plant (or plants, but I mean, it’s a teacup, so multiple plants are going to be tricky) is SUCH an important part of your fairy garden. Choosing a plant (or plants) that will do well in a teacup I’m so happy the same design was on the saucer, I love that detail. Next time I’d try to get one with the flower on the OUTSIDE of the cup.
I LOVE the gold edge on this one… I think it’s so quaint.Īt the same time, I was a little disappointed I covered up that beautiful flower with dirt.
I also wanted one that had a pretty pop of color vs a plain white or black one. Try to choose a teacup that has a wider top opening if you can! This gives you more space to work with.

YOU CAN READ OUR FULL DISCLOSURE POLICY HERE.) Choosing your teacup Of course, I forgot to take in-process photos of this project, but honestly, it was so simple – I can highlight the main things you want to think of below. There isn’t a ton of STEPS to follow to create a fairy garden in a teacup.Īfter all, it’s a tiny little space and I think the key is to just keep it very simple. I also happened to have a few itty-bitty fairy houses kicking around – I had made them following this tutorial when I was first getting into using polymer clay! So this was a great project that really didn’t take too long. When I was younger I collected “made in occupied Japan” teacups… now I have all these pretty old teacups lying around that I will literally never do anything with… this one looked like it REALLY wanted to be a home for fairies. It would be SO MUCH FUN to create these as a project for a fairy garden themed birthday party! A fairy garden in a teacup is perfect for those without much space OR for those who just want to a simple project that won’t take days to complete. This tiny indoor fairy garden only takes up a bit of space – but it’s just as magical as a large fairy garden in my opinion.
