DIY Flower Pot Miniature Fairy Garden
This stacked flower pot fairy garden is very impressive, both because it manages to have a lot of the garden aspect – the top tier almost looks like a miniature tree – as well the decorative one. The ladder in the second tier is really cute, while the pipe-like structure off to the side is really unique. via bystephanielynn
