They’re great small space fairy gardens (much like tea-cup or terrarium fairy gardens) and they’re also great indoor fairy garden containers!

After Christmas, Lanterns go on sale at Micheal’s for 70% off, or you can get them at a thrift store… I’ve found them both places. (Amazon also has really cute ones that would be perfect for a fairy garden.)

I wanted my fairy garden lantern to have lights, and it’s too bad that all lights require batteries, because to be fairy they take up a fair chunk of the “ground” in my garden.

If I had had more time, I would have maybe thought harder about how to run the lights in from OUTSIDE (I may still change this).

Anyhow, as it is now, I placed the battery pack under neath the grass and pushed it all down around the edges, and added a few dobs of hot glue to really keep it in place.
