Paint tree stumps to look like books and
mushrooms.

• Tree stumps can really detract from the magic
  of your yardbut that doesnt mean they have to
  go! Rather than putting in the time and money to
  have them professionally removed, transform your
  tree stumps into something magical. Use outdoor
  paint to turn plain-looking stumps into magical
  mushroom seats, or decorate them to look like
  your favorite fairy tale stories or childrens
  books. If you doubt your artistic abilities, use
  a stencil or hire a neighbor or a professional to
  paint your tree stumps for you. If youve been
  hesitating to cut down that tree that poses a
  threat to the entire neighborhood whenever its
  windy out because you dont want an ugly stump in
  your yard, make the decision to have the tree
  removed and turn your stump into something
  magical! You can even add cushions and backrests
  to turn your stumps into comfortable resting
  spots for guests, little ones, or yourself.

Plant native wildflowers throughout your yard.

• Flowers are the most crucial element when it
  comes to creating a fairy garden. However, the
  idea of managing a garden can be off-putting for
  someespecially those with children and/or a
  full-time job keeping them busy. But just because
  you want flowers in your yard doesnt mean you
  have to start a formal, painstaking garden!
  Research your areas climate and the particular
  flowers that will thrive naturally in your
  landscape. Next, go to your local gardening store
  and purchase several packages of seeds. And
  finally, plant the seeds sporadically throughout
  your yard! If you select flowers that thrive in
  your climate, you should expect to see them
  sprouting and spreading in no timeno upkeep
  required! Be sure to go for perennials that can
  withstand the winter weather unless youd prefer
  to replant each spring. If youre feeling extra
  fancy, plant enchanted-looking trees such as
  cherry blossom trees, willow trees, and aspen
  treesdepending on what your climate calls for.

Put fairy lights in your trees and lanterns in
the grass.

• Fairy lights are what will take your yard
  from cute to magical. Fairy lights create a
  sense of character and enchantment. On top of
  that, they add lighting to your yard, which could
  serve a purpose on summer nights and at backyard
  family gatherings. Hang fairy lights in your
  trees (be sure to attach them properly so that
  they are not swept away in the wind, and make
  sure they are waterproof), along your roof,
  across your patio cover, and anywhere else you
  can think of. Solar-powered fairy lights are a
  great way to go if you dont want the hassle of
  plugging and unplugging the lights and if you
  want to save money on power. Then, add lanterns
  to your yard. Again, solar-powered lanterns can
  be very convenient, but battery-powered lanterns
  will work as well. Situate the lanterns firmly in
  the soil throughout your yard, taking careful
  consideration for where you place them. You could
  create a fairy ring of lanterns around one of
  your trees or line a pathway with lanterns. You
  could also line the edge of your house with
  lanterns as a point of reference. Ensure that
  your lanterns are heavy enough or planted firmly
  enough that they will not be tipped over and
  broken in windy weather.

Install a stone fountain or a waterfall.

• One effective way to make your yard feel like
  an enchanted fairy garden is adding a water
  featurewhether that be a pond, a pool, a
  fountain, or a waterful. Ponds and pools can be
  expensive and difficult to install, but portable
  fountains and waterfalls are much easier to
  manage and relatively inexpensive. Opt for a
  stone fountain or a stone-backed waterfall in
  order to maintain your yards fairy tale theme.
  If youre not sure where you want to place your
  fountain or waterfall and dont want to make a
  permanent commitment to a certain spot, buy a
  portable fountain or waterfall instead! Then,
  whenever the moment calls, you can move your
  water feature to a different spot until you find
  the perfect place for it. You can even put the
  water feature in the garage during the winter.
  Not only are fountains and waterfalls magical,
  but they are also extremely calming, according to
  scientific studies. After a long day, sitting
  outside on one of your mushroom chairs, reading a
  book, and listening to the sound of flowing water
  will help keep you grounded and mindful.
