2. Plant the chrysanthemum in the teacup. Gently pat the soil to make sure the plant is well-supported.
3. Carefully tuck fall floral embellishments into the teacup fairy garden. We used embellishments that had red, orange, and yellow berries, fall leaves, and pine cones.
4. Place the fairy and resin miniatures inside and around the teacup garden. We used a fall fairy, a scarecrow, and a “Happy Autumn” sign.
Isn’t the scarecrow cute?
