A new trend has been sweeping the internet – fairy teacup gardens. If you haven’t already heard of fairy gardens, allow us to fill you in. Fairy gardens are essentially miniature gardens with tiny decoration to make it look like a fairy would live there – think miniature benches and doll-sized tables. Fairy teacup gardens are, you guessed it, fairy gardens placed into cute teacups.
You might be thinking that this sounds ridiculous, but some these cups are actually unique works of immense patience and time. If you’re looking to bring a little joy into an indoor space without the hassle of a potted plant, teacup gardens are just what you need.
Here are 5 tips to getting the fairy teacup garden of your dreams!
1. Gather All of Your Materials
For your own teacup garden, you’ll first need to get a few things. Of course, you’ll need a teacup that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Once you have all the materials you need, make sure to set them out together to get an idea of how this will all look – do those marbles you picked out clash with you teacup?
Also, don’t be afraid to get creative by adding some seashells or pinecones – just about anything looks cute in teacup gardens!
2. Keep It Simple
So maybe you aren’t a self-proclaimed crafting goddess – don’t let that stop you from having the teacup garden of your dreams! We suggest keeping things simple on your first time trying this project.
