Fractured Fairy Tale
Whether your terra-cotta pots were tipped over and broken by kids, pets, or yours truly, you can make good use of the ruddy remnants in this fairy garden. Arrange the broken pots in a tiered design, filling each with soil before stacking the next pot on top. Add large succulents to the topmost pot and smaller succulents at random in and around the lower-lying pots. Place modeling mesh against any broken sides of pots to hold in the soil, then add gold-colored brads to serve as stepping stones and a tiny wooden door at the base of the top pot to evoke the look of a dainty fairy cottage. Little ones will never guess that it’s your DIY magic at work!
