Leave offerings: Fairies are said to appreciate gifts and offerings. Leave small trinkets like crystals, shells, or pretty stones around your home or garden as a sign of goodwill. Create a fairy circle: A fairy circle is a ring of mushrooms that is said to be a portal to the fairy world.

With your twigs, make up a square with a cross in the middle, and glue this together. Once this is set, glue it on top of the pebbles then fill in with pebbles to the height of the window. Keep in mind that the roof will slope, so you will need to build up the height more at the front and back with pebble rows.

To make a fairy house, start by decorating a piece of cardboard or scrap wood with pebbles, moss, or grass to use as a base for your house. Next, stack twigs like Lincoln logs to make walls for the house, using wood glue to keep them together. You'll also want to leave a hole for the door.

Essentially, fairy gardens—also called enchanted gardens—are minuscule plots that include live plants, flowers, mushrooms, tiny statues, darling trinkets, and other mini accessories such as furniture, fountains, or swings.

Add rocks to the bottom of the mason jar, followed by a bit of carbon, then the soil. Add any ground coverage and plants you would like, making sure they are stable in the soil. Add your decorations, using glue to anchor them if necessary. Add a bit of water; the amount varies depending on how big your mason jar is.

Incorporate elements like a Porcini Basket, Mushroom Basket, or Mushroom Luggy. Dried flowers, branches, and lush greenery add to the vibe. You could even create a fairy garden in a corner of your child's room, complete with miniature houses and tiny mushrooms.

Rocks—fairies are attracted to all kinds of shiny stones like agate, quartz, or crystal. Use them to decorate your garden and give the little ones a place to sit. Shiny things—fairies love to look at their reflection, so include shiny things like a mirror or a dish of water in your garden design.
