I am kicking off spring mason jar week with this fairy house mason jar. This fun spring craft idea is perfect for your home decor. Plus they are so easy to make! Trust me….you can do this! Get a few supplies and make your own version of this fairy house mason jar. Remember you can see more spring mason jar crafts here!
Is this not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?! I love this craft! Mainly because it’s made from a mason jar, but fairy gardens are a close second!
This craft is similar to my other mason jar fairy projects that paint the outside of the jar or place the fairy items inside the jar, but this one attaches the fairy garden to the outside of the jar. It’s a really cool look that’s perfect for a screened-in porch or wherever you do your gardening!
After everything is assembled, you could fill the inside of the jar with pebbles, small nightlights, flowers, or leave it empty.
Fairy garden supplies are pretty hot right now, but they are available at many locations including craft stores and even home improvement centers.
How to Make a Fairy Garden Mason Jar
This craft is the cutest little fairy house made from a mason jar, complete with a mushroom lid!
Supplies needed to make a fairy house mason jar:
- Green mason jars (I used the pint version) (note red lids are shown but not required)
- Moss
- Mini fairy doors (just make sure they are sized to work with the jar you choose)
- Clay (will need red and white oven-bake clay)
- Clay tools
- Circle cutter
- Hot glue and glue gun
Add moss and fairy door to the front of the green mason jars with hot glue. I glued the door on first then added moss all the way around.
Next, make the mushroom lid. Please note that a red lid is shown but not required.
I glued the ring to the lid using hot glue.
Then roll red clay out flat until it is the size that will cover your lid. Work it around the lid until the top and sides are entirely covered. Trim away any excess.
Roll out the white clay until flat and use a circle cutter to cut small circles.
Add those circles all over your lid to make the spots of the mushroom.
Bake the clay according to the package directions. I found it best to bake upside down. The lids above are not baked and the ones below are baked. The color does not change at all.
Screw the lids onto the jars and your fairy house mason jar is ready for display around your home.
You can also use these as gift jars. Just put your gift inside and give to someone that you love. They would be perfect for Mother’s Day or Teacher Appreciation. Y’all enjoy and get your supplies to make your own version today.

These are just adorable. I called them gnome homes when I saw them featured at Carrie’s Creative Corner series. Going to pin and share with a buddy who just made her own fairy garden. My yard is a shambles…we are putting in a pool but once the dust settles, would love to make some of these to set about in my river rock. Thank you for the inspiration.
I Love these. Also it said I’m a Half Gallon Jar. Funny because I was thinking I will use that size.
