I found one list that just had "fairy gardens" as a suggestion, but no further information. I wanted my gardens to cost as little as possible so that kids could afford to buy one with their pocket money. So I set to making everything that you might possibly find in a fairy garden with polymer clay. Obviously something like fimo would be preferable but I wanted quantity over quality so I bought some non-brand <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MVG3X6Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">stuff</a>. It's obviously not going to make any great works of art, but is good enough for the £3 I would be charging for my gardens. </p><p>Anyway, I wanted to write up what I did in case it is of help to anyone else googling fairy gardens to sell for charity events.</p><p>I did two different versions at two different events. For both I used these <a href="https://www.crocus.co.uk/product/_/bamboo-fibre-square-eco-pots-10-pack/classid.2000044484/">pots</a>, which are adorable by the way. (And to add to the adorableness I bought small paper bags from Hobbycraft that fit <b>perfectly</b>)</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Make your own fairy garden - version 1 (for younger kids)</i></p><p>Here's all the elements I made. I did one fairy house or volcano for each pot and one fairy or dino. The rest I just made as many as I could and let the kids pick whatever they wanted. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk8WY_H6cH8hyf2ZewZGBvMka1R5quCZ9QxbIs6-sGH-KZmCxCLKQ0f8k8qJzwFmCh-GzPqcBOYdTv2RPKzNKC0HkX1d5W_ctGadEZy0CMvQ2Y-gKo3mlQ9MOvbwqYKYR2r9diPG2VAS6qnmVcUnGwID0fmERVBnsfjRKge54sWIE2x-O9T1Hi0OobJA/s5080/untitled-20220702-130535.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3387" data-original-width="5080" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk8WY_H6cH8hyf2ZewZGBvMka1R5quCZ9QxbIs6-sGH-KZmCxCLKQ0f8k8qJzwFmCh-GzPqcBOYdTv2RPKzNKC0HkX1d5W_ctGadEZy0CMvQ2Y-gKo3mlQ9MOvbwqYKYR2r9diPG2VAS6qnmVcUnGwID0fmERVBnsfjRKge54sWIE2x-O9T1Hi0OobJA/w640-h426/untitled-20220702-130535.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p> Here is a finished pot. All of the clay pieces had earring posts attached to them so that they could be staked in the ground. Once the kids had chosen their pieces and placed them I had a little pot of magic fairy seeds (microgreens) that I let the kids sprinkle all over their gardens. You can see my greens starting to grow here</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1QU0zlbKbmbdQfRskLkvuWEhMNoPhkUsKYy9EH4YiWwciR1CtyAQZPJSVi8v8lGTpFNr86aHp1ijEMOmpAjmK-9wGmFDocdSt6m1-9Qa8XRTY21wsL2_avCqwiaELuVtEmYany3StsfJSQPMigJn7g8ddb_eV07o6YFkGqzDvgIw85FoZrCA8kDLg0g/s5561/untitled-20220702-131415.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3707" data-original-width="5561" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1QU0zlbKbmbdQfRskLkvuWEhMNoPhkUsKYy9EH4YiWwciR1CtyAQZPJSVi8v8lGTpFNr86aHp1ijEMOmpAjmK-9wGmFDocdSt6m1-9Qa8XRTY21wsL2_avCqwiaELuVtEmYany3StsfJSQPMigJn7g8ddb_eV07o6YFkGqzDvgIw85FoZrCA8kDLg0g/w640-h426/untitled-20220702-131415.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Here's some of the dinos. There's a bazillion online tutorials on all of these things so I'm not going to go over how I made them. </p><p>For both the fairies and the dinos (and indeed everything else) you must make them with clumsy little fingers in mind. My first batch of fairies had long ponytails, arms at right angles and delicate skirts but they broke very easily so I kept the arms against the body and gave them bobs for haircuts. For the dinos it is worth gluing (or liquid polymer glue) all of the spikes in place.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizE3BEtW6yGqIWCW9uJF5qF5bEDYXPt_pQhSPlLshsYD8WLS0zQS6KCNrwk7Jkak3NY2E_9MOTv4TJhvBIIa5H7R78lxwlULt21Aln6Knkzv-ZyKHYe4qTpMA6o5vxO-o_FPBe9lT31iIR5smXFxLtxvwIG95UJRBcbJqTkXOzejNQmbEMxcPqAdHwhg/s5406/untitled-20220702-130635.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3604" data-original-width="5406" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizE3BEtW6yGqIWCW9uJF5qF5bEDYXPt_pQhSPlLshsYD8WLS0zQS6KCNrwk7Jkak3NY2E_9MOTv4TJhvBIIa5H7R78lxwlULt21Aln6Knkzv-ZyKHYe4qTpMA6o5vxO-o_FPBe9lT31iIR5smXFxLtxvwIG95UJRBcbJqTkXOzejNQmbEMxcPqAdHwhg/w640-h426/untitled-20220702-130635.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Dan said that they looked like they are attending a fairy convention and I couldn't unsee that!</p><p>Again, there's loads of tutorials online for tiny fairies, so follow one of those, but I would say that the secret to making many fairies successfully is to do it in stages and bake them lots in between. I made the rocks that they sit on first, and shoved a wire in there to build the fairies on. Bake that and then the legs, bake them and then make their body and petal skirts etc. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjop9b4EHoAfnOzhf4HcVV4SHfPE2bo4vsdYQ7yOhsqIzMtyzUPsqkKRbfyQfzbGmShzjumiuzcD8RQi8nk0MiadkobXf-CchVsBqpfkGr4xPq_rdogrI_UUbY_vZZm8fRuAFoqB16fN_GwzisIhsWEvuoJ7PKmM5FBb_UUZGjxky3IAIweVS63EHWUjw/s5683/untitled-20220702-130615.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3789" data-original-width="5683" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjop9b4EHoAfnOzhf4HcVV4SHfPE2bo4vsdYQ7yOhsqIzMtyzUPsqkKRbfyQfzbGmShzjumiuzcD8RQi8nk0MiadkobXf-CchVsBqpfkGr4xPq_rdogrI_UUbY_vZZm8fRuAFoqB16fN_GwzisIhsWEvuoJ7PKmM5FBb_UUZGjxky3IAIweVS63EHWUjw/w640-h426/untitled-20220702-130615.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Here's some frogs and some hedgehogs (literally just brown balls that were snipped with little scissors and given a pointy nose)</div><div>Also in the picture are snails and mushrooms (I blended brown and white for the shroom stalks which looked very good)</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKf0XPPJmFRC0X1U1pfL_hSsLv7UIGLyt4ZmkLlO4TXg95Pk0peBFD8hF9YYys33pL29YK6o44P1jknkXFg6fQ_9UC259xmvQmvl7GPwEBcowdlmqxI_xEJPLNlH0w2vGGX7MUWxJ3ZWX5JdvAYkkRh0zSj4nX2EZknmH_DDSo0FnpRm5ZgQm771YJiQ/s6000/untitled-20220702-130352.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKf0XPPJmFRC0X1U1pfL_hSsLv7UIGLyt4ZmkLlO4TXg95Pk0peBFD8hF9YYys33pL29YK6o44P1jknkXFg6fQ_9UC259xmvQmvl7GPwEBcowdlmqxI_xEJPLNlH0w2vGGX7MUWxJ3ZWX5JdvAYkkRh0zSj4nX2EZknmH_DDSo0FnpRm5ZgQm771YJiQ/w640-h426/untitled-20220702-130352.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Here's a close up of a bee, some flowers and some ladybirds</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikzVfWgichvcQl-PF5e67D4iZpGwHHhq6vfdweVr387cEBObRRnzS1918MjzXXCEYkf0v3bh-IE7M8X69e91vEBe6FGAL_W95bBsFH4LB3SyM3wNh3ggwByZuKCo_oMgmqKcffFXor15VEfOWjJB4FcF-u_dxQQRcrWSowc1fPaEkA5V8G3r3QLn1W1g/s6000/untitled-20220702-131730.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikzVfWgichvcQl-PF5e67D4iZpGwHHhq6vfdweVr387cEBObRRnzS1918MjzXXCEYkf0v3bh-IE7M8X69e91vEBe6FGAL_W95bBsFH4LB3SyM3wNh3ggwByZuKCo_oMgmqKcffFXor15VEfOWjJB4FcF-u_dxQQRcrWSowc1fPaEkA5V8G3r3QLn1W1g/w640-h426/untitled-20220702-131730.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>I didn't get many pictures of the dino side - but here's some eggs just about to crack open</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdpVFi-mNe0ANS72hz2Kpkn5fY3is60hqKbl5oo4dj1TmYYjTuhJt1spxmKREhFyLwD5pE4E76tucv8rK1vt9b7JkYYt3jGgCyYUpSW9QNIc5HRj8qJCn-rCVnHbW0HovikQgbiurWZCuKClkE5s9uN1SKAd7g7zCDiPPlYNRBS1fI3G1426VtGUsNw/s6000/untitled-20220702-130400.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdpVFi-mNe0ANS72hz2Kpkn5fY3is60hqKbl5oo4dj1TmYYjTuhJt1spxmKREhFyLwD5pE4E76tucv8rK1vt9b7JkYYt3jGgCyYUpSW9QNIc5HRj8qJCn-rCVnHbW0HovikQgbiurWZCuKClkE5s9uN1SKAd7g7zCDiPPlYNRBS1fI3G1426VtGUsNw/w640-h426/untitled-20220702-130400.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p>Here's an overview of all of the fairy things I made.

I also took some spare pieces of upholstery foam because I had a handful of people say they didn't want a whole garden but would love eg just one snail, or a few different bits. I bundled them up in the foam and charged 50p or £1. So basically I would recommend making as many little bits as you can until you run out of either clay or time.</p><p><i>Make your own fairy garden - version 2 (slightly better for older kids/people)</i></p><p>Version 1 above went down very well, so much so that I was asked to have a stall at another event - our local Pride - but I wanted something a little more 'grown up' and I also didn't have enough time to make more of the 200+ pieces that were included in the first iteration. </p><p>So I used the same pots as before, added a purple creeping thyme plug to each and bought a whole load of cheap stick-on jewels if the recipient wanted to decorate it. There were just two polymer clay elements for these pots so I could spend more time making them a little bit better. There was a figure to be staked in the pot - either a fairy or baby dinosaur - and a pot clinger - either a unicorn or dinosaur.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiLqSxmPlXR1ravKULlPD6JAO5fJMbY9yv7pWEOt9OaLIcCY2xVVCk5_vmIDaEv5z59AVvKgaK8yx0jUs5blAkCJZzQ7DX5ukbgfQvcz_7rw1TKrDIUqLVoC7yHnfakucPWBFtIcUfXFnpKCfxHC8Vg_vVksGUo28gmurDVfLGwg-GGKF-jZkYEnSQ_Q/s6000/untitled-20220806-091154.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiLqSxmPlXR1ravKULlPD6JAO5fJMbY9yv7pWEOt9OaLIcCY2xVVCk5_vmIDaEv5z59AVvKgaK8yx0jUs5blAkCJZzQ7DX5ukbgfQvcz_7rw1TKrDIUqLVoC7yHnfakucPWBFtIcUfXFnpKCfxHC8Vg_vVksGUo28gmurDVfLGwg-GGKF-jZkYEnSQ_Q/w640-h426/untitled-20220806-091154.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>I didn't take many pictures of this set up I'm afraid, but here they all are. The fairies this time had their wings printed on transparency sheets and painted with shimmery nail varnish (rather than the fantasy film of the first batch). They were also a little larger and generally a little better as I could spend more time on them. I used <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Sbd8xWR51w&list=PLEQTOfZ01obEyMPsK0eWP4SjBhWqLHidT&index=10">this tutorial </a>as a starting point for the pot clingers. May I draw your attention to the two T Rexes, their arms are too short to cling, so they use their jaws to hold them up!</p><p>To display and transport them I got a large box, cut the top off and then trimmed the top piece ever so slightly so that it would fit inside the main box. Glued some upholstery foam to the top piece and then sewed some material that is loose enough for the earring posts to poke through to it. I attached a piece of card vertically to the underside of the top piece so that it would sit just below the top of the main box. This also gave me partitioned space inside the box to put fairies on one side and dinos on the other for transport. The clingers just hang on the main box edge.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiikh7vbRQO2HSRYgFljqNt3adtqcPcV0P8Z2l__xxfTTylyw3G1LI25hmRfpzu-J7e7kGU8_EjGBw0Qh4q9kv3i2nXJE67zUx3V3pR1YAw23fNNPSku8b35vx-JSqyeb0UcX8UDcX3nBpsB9Sf4R7FoHl-aa6ZQVzl-2vetPq-xsUx3O5S6VT13ezpTA/s6000/untitled-20220806-091147.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiikh7vbRQO2HSRYgFljqNt3adtqcPcV0P8Z2l__xxfTTylyw3G1LI25hmRfpzu-J7e7kGU8_EjGBw0Qh4q9kv3i2nXJE67zUx3V3pR1YAw23fNNPSku8b35vx-JSqyeb0UcX8UDcX3nBpsB9Sf4R7FoHl-aa6ZQVzl-2vetPq-xsUx3O5S6VT13ezpTA/w640-h426/untitled-20220806-091147.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>Here's a close up of the mane and tail.
