Fairy Garden Teepee and Fence
An enchanting fairy teepee tent, lined by a mini wooden fence, makes the perfect outdoor scene for your fairy garden.
Step up your fairy garden landscape with a petite teepee and fence. Both elements are made of wooden matchsticks and other basic materials that can be found at a crafts store. We used a strawberry-print fabric in our fairy teepee for added charm.
