Do you love fairy gardens? What about mason jars? Why not combine both of those into this fairy garden mason jar terrarium? It is the best of both worlds all in one simple craft idea, plus it’s just so adorable!
Fairy Garden Mason Jar Terrarium
You only need a few supplies to make your own version of this fun craft. I used a few miniatures but actually made my own “door” to the fairy houses in these jars. See how to make the doors below and add them to mason jars. This is also a fun kids craft that they will love to partake in.

And she needs some crafting comfort i think.
Thank you as well for the great tute.

Specially for the making a fairy door. I had planned years ago to make a fairy door in one of my walls, but i hadn’t find a shop that is specialist for dollhouses.
So i can make my one!!!!
