DIY Miniature/Fairy Garden Fence

It's so easy to make your own accessories for your miniature/fairy garden! Here's a quick and easy tutorial on how to make your own fence using cut up cedar shingles and copper wire.

Materials/tools needed:
Cedar shingle scraps, cut into 4-5" lengths
24 gauge copper wire (get it from an arts&crafts store from the beading/jewelry section)
Jewelry or needle nose pliers
X-acto or similar sharp cutting knife

1. Cut scrap length-wise into 1/4" widths (doesn't need to be exact)

2.  Cut two long pieces of copper wire at least 4x longer than the finished length of the fence. Fold in half, and wrap one around a cedar piece about 1/2" from the top. Twist the wire 4-5 times, then add another cedar "post".

3. After you have a few posts together, add the second wire about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the post. Do the same as the top wire until the pieces are together.

4. Continue wrapping and twisting until you get the length you need or you run out of wire.

5. To finish off the end, twist the wire and fold it over the last post.

6. You may cut off the extra length if you need to. This is optional. I left the posts intact because the extra length will help to keep the fence secure in the garden. Install and enjoy!

Side note: If you end up with little splinters on the edges after snapping the posts apart, use the knife to scrape them off and clean up the edges.
