Winter Wonderland

Introducing new themed Fairy Gardens! First new Garden is Winter Wonderland!

How to build your own Winter Wonderland:

1. Fill planter (I used a stainless steel mixing bowl with hole drilled in bottom and spray painted white) with potting soil and gravel.
 2. Use a paper to trace the edge of your planter at gravel height and draw your ice shelf shape. Trace it onto a 1/2" thick sheet of styrofoam and cut out with a razor blade. Cut a 1 1/4" diameter hole for the seal.
 3. Buy my seal friends.(and gnome and igloo)
 4. Put the seal head under the styrofoam. Lay it on the gravel.
 5. Plant your plants. I used plastic for this demo.
 6. Cover with white aquarium gravel for "snow".
 7. Decorate with gnome and igloo and other seal.
 8. I'm showing only the basic set up here, but you can use your imagination to fill it up with decorations for the Arctic, or Christmas!
