Coconut Shell Craft: How To Make Natural Fairy Toadstools

Do you love fairy gardens? If so, we have the perfect fall craft for you; decorating your garden with magical fairy toadstools.

In this simple coconut shell craft, we make gorgeous fairy toadstools for our garden using non-toxic milk paint to keep them environmentally friendly.

We love adding quirky pieces of recycled sculpture and art to our garden. They add a pop of colour and give interest to the garden all year round. I do feel it’s essential, however, to try and avoid adding anything toxic to our natural environment.

Our fairy toadstools are made from 100% natural materials, and will all naturally break down over time so are perfect to be used in the garden or even placed in the woods or a park as Wild Art.
