So you have decided to want a fairy garden, but you have no time to make one yourself (my personal work ), or you would just like to put one up in an easier way? Then you could go and have a look at fairy garden kits on Etsy.
As a matter of fact, although I prefer to make things myself, I am actually going to buy a pretty fairy garden house (as a kit) myself soon, it is such a cute house and I can still paint it or decorate it the way I like it!
Today I am going to review six fairy garden kits for you from different companies, so let’s go:
Shop number 1: EnchantedHuts
Makes :
– fairy garden kits
– accessories
Some more info :
– materials included: real wood base, natural moss, grass, twigs, pebbles, pine cones, dried lotus pod, lichen, cardboard tube
– the intend with this kit is to make your own fairy garden with natural materials, just the way you want it yourself.
Place(s) To Buy: Etsy
Price : 35,00$
The Good And The Bad :
The good:
– I always love when a dollhouse, miniature or fairy garden is made from natural materials, it looks a lot less ‘artificial’. But that’s just my opinion 😉
– You can create a basic, beautiful fairy garden with these materials all together, it is a nice start
– fast shipping
The bad:
– the price looks a bit high?
– indoors only it seems, but I think that when you seal it with something like Mod Podge, you can keep lots of things outside, but still take some things inside during cold or wet winters.
My Final Opinion :
Lovely starters kit if you want a simple way to create a small fairy garden inside. I would expand it with other things like bridges, a fairy house, water well, etc. But that’s because maybe I want too much at once haha.
I wouldn’t buy this myself, because I have so much of these things available for free in the region where I live (moss etc), but of course, if you live in a city environment then this is perfect!
Shop number 2: PartynWithPlants.
Makes:
– Terrarium Kits, Fairy Garden Kits, Succulent Plant Gifts
Some more info:
– The fairy garden kits are made from: a glass bubble bowl (6 inches), Spanish moss, reindeer moss,( 5 bags off colorful moss ), colored gravel, play sand, resin miniatures ( mushrooms & umbrella, bunny, duck,& turtle, hedgehog, owl, & butterfly), 2 miniature ladybugs that have stickers on the back, you can stick them anywhere, seashells, dirt, fairy, 2 Succulents
Place(s) To Buy: Etsy
Price :49,99 $
The Good And The Bad :
The good:
– Seems like a véry reasonable price for the amount off materials you get!
– It is perfect for beginners as well more advanced fairy gardeners
– wonderful customer service
– fast shipping
The bad:
I’m not seeing any bad reviews, nor do I think anything negative could come from this shop.
My Final Opinion :
I think this could be one of the perfect fairy garden kits to start with or for advanced ‘gardeners’ if you are just looking for a small, but cute scenery indoors.
Shop number 3:LulaRoseUSA.
Makes:
– fairy and elves doors
– silver coins ( memorabilia gifts )
Some more info:

– Each door takes on its own unique antiqued look and is 5.75″ tall and 4″ wide
Place(s) To Buy: Etsy
Price : 23,95$
The Good And The Bad :
The good:
– very nice and detailed craftsmanship
– made in the US
– a nice thoughtful extra that you can buy is the ‘silver tooth fairy coin‘ :
– indoors as well as outdoors
The bad:
– it has 5 stars, but only 2 people have written a review so far, so I can’t really tell if anything negative would pop up
My Final Opinion :
It would be hard for me to make these myself as beautiful as on the pictures, so I really would consider buying one if I would find a nice tree stump.
Shop number 4: miniaturegardening.
Makes:
– miniature plants, cottages, accessories, fairies and gnomes, and others
Some more info:
– made from polyresin
– The circular, 3.25-inch high front door opens and closes.

Place(s) To Buy: Etsy
Price :55,67$
The Good And The Bad :
The good:
– great quality and craftsmanship
– fast shipping
– you can even put lights on the inside
– lots of reviews and all are positive
– the fairy door opens
The bad:
– no negative points on this object are to be seen
My Final Opinion :
Ok, I admit, this is not really a ‘kit’, but I really do think this is worth mentioning because I am absolutely stunned by this beauty! Can anyone give this to me for my birthday, please? Oh wait, I have to wait too long haha! But seriously, this craftsmanship looks fantastic, no?
Shop number 5: CreateItCraftsCo
Makes:
– This is more like a general crafting shop, selling all kinds of supplies. I found a small fairy garden kit though.
Some more info:
– the fairy garden kits include: 1 wood tray (sizes vary from 6.5″- 9.5″ wide to 13″ – 16″ long, 1 wood fairy house, 3 colors of paint + brush, wood pieces, picket fence, pine cones, dried moss, mini butterflies, colored rocks, mini sticks
Place(s) To Buy: Etsy
Price : 26,70$
The Good And The Bad :
The good:
– very reasonable price for all the items that you receive
– you get what is described in the pictures
– fast shipping
The bad:
– not really a ‘bad’ point if you ask me when people tend to claim that the items are ‘too small’ or ‘not suited for a 5-year old’. I mean, this kind of kits are never suitable for such young children and of course they are ‘small’, that’s how they are supposed to be 😉
My Final Opinion :
As you get a lot of items for a very reasonable price, this would be great for someone who decides to give a fairy garden a try and see if she/he wants to go further with this hobby. It is only meant for a small part of the garden or in a flowerpot or something similar (look at some ideas here ). I just love the little butterflies though!
And then last, but surely not least :
Shop number 6: AlchemyEngraving
Makes :
– Wooden Crafts, Personalized Gifts, Home Decor.
– Including 3D wooden fairy doors, opening fairy doors, family trees, baby name plaques, fairy houses, engraved keyrings, and others.
Some more info :

– Highly-detailed Fairy House Kit with Fully Opening Fairy Door
– self-assembly, to be painted and decorated
– Pictogram assembly instructions are supplied
– Suitable for indoor use. Can be used outdoors once treated with an appropriate topcoat or varnish.
– laser-cut
Place(s) To Buy: Etsy
Price : 23,17$
The Good And The Bad :
The good:
– handmade
– over 5500 sales and still getting 5 stars= good quality
– you can paint/adjust/decorate it completely to your own wishes
– natural materials
– easy put together
– I think it’s not expensive
The bad:
– the roof seems hard to put together
– no other bad reviews to be seen
My final opinion.
I can’t hide it, this shop is my absolute favorite. I love the fact that all of it is made in wood and the fairy doors and house kits look absolutely gorgeous. Even the price is very affordable, so I am going to order a fairy house soon, I just haven’t decided which one yet, because they are all so pretty. To be continued!
In the meantime, this little fairy house has been decorated and ready to put in my fairy garden. Have a look at the deeper review here, where my Youtube video is also included.
Final Conclusion.
If you are looking for fairy garden kits, then in my personal opinion, buying them on Etsy is the best place to be. Also, there is so much choice on there regarding fairy garden supplies in general, that you can spend hours on it, strolling around 😉

We have a heatwave at the moment in the UK and that means in all day with the kids. I’ve been searching for good ideas to do with them and these fairy gardens look ideal. My kids love all things arts and crafts and I think I’ll love these too. The end results look beautiful! The only problem is which one to choose!
Hi Rose !,

I wish you the best choice ever and happy crafting!
