A fall fairy garden isn’t complete without some sort of harvest style décor – like baskets of fresh veggies just waiting to be taken inside. (And maybe some mini garden tools for tending the veggie patch too?)

Begin by forming your basket

You want to form a “snake” that you will wrap around to create your basket, and a small ball that you can press down to make the bottom of the basket.
