Potted Faux Rose Fairy Garden


We love fairy gardens around here, and we’re always adding to them to please our little magical friends, making their spaces extra special and oh so fun! This rose garden is our newest addition to the fairy world. Built in a pot saucer, it’s easily movable and lightweight, meaning it can be brought inside or out as the fairies (or the dollies who sometimes use our fairy gardens for playing) take a fancy to a new location. So lovely. And so fun!

Difficulty level: Easy
Time required: 30 minutes

Things you’ll need:
Terra Cotta Saucer
Moss sheet
Potting soil
Scissors
Rose Arbor
Flower Fence
Plant picks
Flower garland
Craft knife
Pebbles

Things to do:
1. Begin by cutting your moss sheet to fit snugly into your saucer. You can flip your saucer over onto the moss to use it as a guide.

2. Fill the saucer with about 1 inch of soil and press it down to flatten.

3. Cover the soil with the moss, tucking the edges in.

4. Center your Flower covered fence in the saucer and place your rose arbor in the center of the fenced area.
5. Using your craft knife, cut the moss away in strips or arcs where you want more “garden”.
6. Insert plant picks to add foliage.

7. Cut lengths of the garland to fit into the small garden sections and gently bend the ends down, pushing them into the soil to secure them.

  1. I want to make a fairy garden and was wondering if you use the moss sheets with real plants… or should I use all artificial plants? Why do you use potting soil if your garden is made with artificial plants? Thank You for any advice on my garden…..

    1. Hi Judy. All very great questions! If you wanted to use real plants in your potted, I would recommend using naturally dried moss (factorydirectcraft.com/catalog/products/1302_2113_1650-21736-natural_dried_sheet_moss.html) instead of the sheet moss. This will be easier for you to plant your flowers and such. You don’t have to use potting soil if you’re using artificial plants, this is just a simple way to fill your pot to the desired height and give your overall fairy garden stability. You could really use anything you wanted then just cover it up with your moss. Please let us know if you have any other questions! Happy crafting!
