How to make a fairy garden in a teacup

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. 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.

It would be SO MUCH FUN to create these as a project for a fairy garden themed birthday party!

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.

Try to choose a teacup that has a wider top opening if you can! This gives you more space to work with.I also wanted one that had a pretty pop of color vs a plain white or black one. I LOVE the gold edge on this one… I think it’s so quaint.

Choosing your teacup

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.

For 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.

Cover up your dirt if you want

You want to keep the accessories simple, because it’s a very small space, after all! You can overwhelm with too much, and then the cute details get overlooked.
