Pop-Up Fairy Garden Toolboxes
Updated: Jul 11
What's up my gorgeous FairyFindrs! I've been busy as a Fairy-Bee this spring collecting things for Ye Towne of Marvelous Magical Miniatures! I have been gathering lot's of free toys, miniature plants, and of course trash that I find, who doesn't love a good trash find amirite? I'm all about reduce, reuse, recycle and I try my hardest to include that into 100% of my art and creations. We have FAR too much trash in this world, why do we even have landfills? Why do people just throw shit out of their windows and on to the ground, it doesn't make any sense. We are a part of this planet, Mother Nature needs us to nurture her so she can nurture us back!

The fairies (or fae/other folk as they prefer to be called) are all about reusing materials! When you read folklore and stories about the fae and it describes their way of life it always includes using all the resources that they can find to the most of its abilities and even finding new uses for old objects! Just like the fae, we are creators as humans, and with a little creativity and A LOT of hard work we can create a space and life for ourselves and others that is beautiful and renewing. Mother Earth is so resilient, we just have to give her a helping hand as the stewards of this planet. Touch and grow plants, tell them they're beautiful, tell the bee it is lovely when you see it pollinating on a flower nearby, thank the sun for its rays that shine upon our faces and bring us renewed joy and life to the plants and animals and beings of planet earth! Our perspective ends up being our whole world so why not make it a magical one filled with wonder, love for this planet and all its creatures, and spreading joy!?
I recently created this on-the-go fairy garden making toolbox with tons of little fairy garden figures and toys, some tools, sandpaper, wood glue, rocks, etc. and I've used it 3 or 4 times to create little pop-up fairy gardens whenever I find a majestic old tree that looks like a perfect fairy kingdom! I’m going to be making some lightweight fairy garden on-the-go kits VERY soon so stay on the lookout! 👀 I’ll be posting links on this blog and on my socials about how to purchase them when they are ready!
I was out working doing Uber Eats, DoorDash, and InstaCart orders the other morning and it was a slow period in between orders so I took a little break at Heritage Park in Taylor, Michigan. I grew up going to this park but we usually only went to the one side of it, so this day I decided to check out a different part of the park. I look out across the field and I spot a few really old looking and tall trees, grab my book, and head on over.
I was in complete awe as I walk up to this beautiful tree and absolutely thrilled to find a perfect fairy door already made out of the archway of the roots and I just couldn’t leave it behind. I instantly ran back to my car and grabbed my on-the-go fairy garden toolbox and built this beautiful fairy garden under this marvelous tree right behind the kids playground next to a picnic table and right next to the bathroom building in Heritage Park! It was such a magical experience I even took this timelapse video of me making it!!
I had such an amazing experience making this pop-up fairy garden and I hope this inspires you to go make some pop up fairy gardens of your own! Its never too late to embrace joy and magic! Fairies are for everyone and bring joy to young and old, all genders and sexualities, and those from all walks of life. They want to connect with us just as much as we want to connect with them! They want us to embrace nature and the magic nature shows us every day, spend time with plants and bugs and animals and show them love and appreciation! We are far more connected to this planet and all the other beings and plants and energies here than we can ever begin to imagine!
Oh by the way look very closely these screenshots I captured of the Timelapse video! There’s little glowing eyes and flying orbs in the fairy door as I build it! Wild!!! And little shadow ent faces in the dark!!!! The elves and gnomes and fae want to be seen you just have to look for them! They will show up to you in the ways you notice most.. it’s all about paying attention to the details!!!
