If you're curious, I removed all the stuff off the top of the fairy garden because I decided I didn't really like that part in the end. 😀

Please make this a series!! Revamping your fails 😅 love seeing you give things new life ❤️

Now you can convert that "ladder down" into a "bridge across" (to another fairy garden planter) and let the little ogre/troll dude love underneath that bridge! 😆

Awwww so cute ... Little Benjamin I mean ... what a beautiful little gift from God. I also must say Laura, Aaron's a good little daddy 👨‍👦 I love that little fairy garden, something I've never done and that's to create a fairy garden. Thank you Laura for sharing this great little video with us all 👪💖🌈🌿🕊

How did I miss this sleeper hit? I actually really liked the shape and would have stopped at the addition of a ladder. But this type of diy fairy cave will definitely be inspo for my kids and I this week!

So nice...you’re awesomely creative ! And to see Benjamin again when he was one year old...so oooooo cute. Beautiful boy! Covid has me cooking , crafting, baking ! I can’t wait for the garden centres to open again. Itching to redo my front garden with all the ideas from your videos! These Highlight videos are fun to watch when I am busy crafting . Who knew I could stay home this long without going bunkers ??? Really got excited when you showed us your new piece of land ! What an accomplishment to have secured that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Stay safe !

That turned out nice little fairy garden. Benjamin is so cute he gotta be such a joy. 💜

I love the rustic look. I don't think it's a failure. I love it. 💕🌻🌿

Just saw this today and I love your "save my fails" idea. Have you considered using a basketball? It's probably one of the sturdier balls available. You could cover the hypertufa with plastic (or a plastic bag) to keep it from shifting. Good luck. I'm going to search now to see if you tried again! (Loved seeing Benjamin so young!)

That fairy garden is WAY cool. I love it cos it's more natural and looks real. Very cool :)

Love the whimsy! The ladder is amazing.

Girl...you rocked it! So cute! Hi Aaron and Benjamin!

It's almost refreshing to know that you can do a project that doesn't turn out perfectly, just like the rest of us. It rarely happens to you; but, we're NOT the only ones. Lol. Great save, though, Laura! You and your "esque' & "ish" words are so funny sometimes. I've seen some vids of hypertufa projects using both inexpensive plastic bowls and metal bowls for creating spheres. So amazing how perfectly the two halves are connected and the "seams smoothed over! Helen Wyatt of Georgia is really impressive with her Portland cement hypertufa projects on KZfaq. Benjamin is such a cute baby! Just don't encourage him to grow up or do things too early. They're little for such a short time and yet, some parents seem to want them to grow up too quickly. My daughter walked early at around ten months; but, was 14 months before she had a single tooth! Hahaha. Those precious times passed so quickly! Children are such blessings to us and it's a huge gift for your fans to be able to watch him grow and change. It's also nice to see you & Aaron grow and learn as parents. God bless you all, Laura. 💜

Spheres are difficult to accomplish with hypertufa because all it wants to do is slump. I would recommend either two separate half spheres that you attach together once they're cured, or skip the 'tufa and go with thin layers of concrete (brushed on) in thin layers until you have a nice, thick surface.

It might be a failed project for you but for me You never fail to inspire with anything you do !! 👍😍👍

I think that your prototype is very organic. I love it. I think that you could market these if you could make a mold. LOL 😊

Love it, you hypertufa turned out so very cute, and that little boy of yours is just darling. I have a grandson about that same age! They are so precious!

This is so cute! And, the extra work you had to put into to covering the glue on the ladder really made it look super authentic. I love your channel and thank you for sharing!

I think that came out really nice. I love doing seasonal fairy gardens for my Granddaughters. So when they come its always something new in my Garden. I love changing things up during those times I think it makes your garden look so fresh and here in Oregon we actually have real 4 seasons. So that is extra special and so much more fun for me. The sphere I agree I used 2 metal bowls and plastic wrap. It worked for me too Oh my goodness Benjamin is getting so big.wanting to walk and everything. Pretty soon you will be chasing him in your garden.🌸🌾🌿🌺🌻🤗🍂🍁💞💞 and even helping which I promise from so much experiance from having 12 Grandbabies it is so much fun. and even with them being older and in college and things they still love helping me and canning things with me and my Mom. thank goodness for Gramma Gramma teaching us all this to keep it going for generations to come. 💞💞

Cookie Monster 😂😂😂😂 It ended up looking really cute and I prefer it minus the moss and pine cones stuck over the outside too😊😊😊

It's adorable! Snatching victory out of the jaws of defeat in garden projects is the best feeling. Think of it with moss growing on it. Transplant some from your garden.

Turned out cute! The bonus was even cuter! Thanks for sharing Benjamin 😍😘❤

Super cute and whimsical. Maybe put a solar light near it. I love the way it turned out. Awesome job Laura. Benjamin is growing so fast! Hugs! 🦋🦋🦋

Ha Ha LOL, I didn't know you were a comedian, Laura "I think if I put two googly eyes and painted it blue, it could be Cookie Monster." 🤣😂🤣I seriously belly laughed at that one. Love how it turned out, though. You're awesome! God bless you n family!!😇

Please list your plants like you do in the other channel. It is so helpful. Great videos Laura keep up the good work.

Adorable, a great save! I shall expect to see that little troll in a Halloween project though!

you could use a child plastic/rubber ball for the round shape. the kind of ball they have in a cage like display in walmart etc. there are lots of examples on pinterest

Turned out great Laura...and Benjamin is just too cute!!....😍🇦🇺

I made a “sphere” hyoertufa for my mom using metal mixing bowls. I covered them in plastic wrap...A LOT of plastic wrap and it worked fine!

Baby Benjamin is so stinking cute!! 😀

You have such a creative eye. Looks fun. 👍🏻

Yay! I loved it till you started putting all the stuff on top and I started saying "Stop! Stop!, and then I saw the pictures. I don't know why I doubted you, yours always turns out so special. lol It looks so special in the area you put it in.

I was looking forward to the Ogar peeking out thru the bushes back in there lol

Wouldn’t it be too dark in there for some of the plants?

Try using one of those exercise balls that people lay down on to help arch their backs and support off-the-ground exercises. Wally World has a brand that comes in three sizes. Because those balls are meant to hold the weight of a person, they hold up well as a form. I used a medium-sized one and it worked just fine with full-on cement so, hypertufa would be easy-peazy!! Hope this helps.

Love how a fail turns into a win! Love Benjamin walking! So much fun at this age! Ok every age of your child is fun!

YAy! A fairy garden! You hadn't made one in soooo long. It turned out cute.

u are so creative its like u could probably make a story claymation style using differentbackground set-ups!

I think it turned out super cute! 👌🏼You asked for other spherical ideas & I’ve seen a yoga ball used as a form. It can be inflated & deflated quite a few times so it can be reused. With it being so large it would need to be reinforced with some mesh or other material. So many options it could be a fun project to try. 👍🏼 🧚🏼‍♀️🍄🧚🏽‍♂️🌿

what if you use two bowls, that when they're connected they form a circle, and you just do is separately. then why you add them together just sand the seam smooth

Yay!!! More fairy gardens please oh please!! - Cambria

Nice job Laura, and ya you did the right thing taking off the top part, it looks better. And omg you're baby boy is streching out.

🤗🤗Benjamin 🤗🤗 and love the garden orge hide away...

I love your Hypertufa Fall Fairy Garden .

Yay, I have been waiting for you to make a new fairy garden! 😉 I love it!!! 💕

Your fail turned out real cute!

And exercise ball with drywall tape around for some rigidity

Had a hypertufa fail last year. Number sign for our front lawn about 4 feet long by 2.5 feet high and 4 inches thick with the numbers as a negative space. Fell apart while tried to move it and slowly disintegrated each time we touched it. Now it is just a pile of sand like material. Change of plans ... cedar fencing boards. Live and learn😀

I love cookies😅😂🤣💙!!! Gotta love that Cookie Monster!!!That turned out awesome! Always look for the positive in things even when they don’t turn out as planned.💚💚💚💚💚💚

You are so creative with your projects.

Beautiful and magical!!! Please do do more fairy gardens!!! Everyone like this comment if you agree!!

This project is so cute. You said you removes the stuff outside. I think if you put sheet moss on top it would look like it was something nature had made. You are so creative!!!

Awww this was my first time seeing ur baby, He's CUTE!!!!

You made fabulous lemonade! You're SO creative! ---Could you imagine yourself in any other job that you could showcase your many talents?

That is just fun and adorable. Benjamin should have liked this if he was a little older. I know this was a year ago do you still have it. Was it too dark inside for the fern. Where did you put it?

Thank you for sharing the faills and trying to do something with it! It happens right..keep trying! Thank you!

Super cute! Please share the stuff that didn't work out more, it is so good to know!

Is an old bowling ball the right size?

Even ogres need a quiet place to sit!! Lol

Your har looks lovely!

You are an artistic genius

Try a small exercise ball. I have seen these used when making string lamp shades. They are really sturdy and if you get one that you can unplug and not pop you can re-use it. 😀

Love it! Great job. So cute.

Not a fail, just went in a different direction, I like how you fixed it , cute !

Great save on a project. It is good to get a result you can be happy with after working really hard on something isn't it. Thanks for the creativity!!!

As usual, I love it! I have learned so much since watching your videos. Cant wait till next year to put my new garden/flower knowledge to use!

I love the shape of it!!

I've gotten into Hypertufa before, just as far as playing around with it many years ago. For the most part, I've been able to deal with the people that had been playing around with it too. BUT, many people had NO idea that ANY talk beyond just a few words were words of the competition, wanting to outdo the guy that came up with this all first.

Muito amor, trabalho maravilhoso, amei, muito, muito, tudo muito lindo!! Parabéns!

Very cool. Like a cave. Nice.

That looks awesome 🌿

maybe use two aluminum bowls to sandwich it?

Hi Laura, I love watching you create, and you inspire me to try also. I had saved your video w/the moss (or live) roof. When I went to look at it, it was someone else's video that got saved. How can I find it?

Oh my God all this time I thought I had subscribed I watch all the time via TV I'm just not sure if when I like on tv if you receive it because it doesn't show on my phone. Anyway you guys are awesome I started buying house plants because of you. Lol I have about 27 now

Simple and beautiful😍❤

You turned an oops into a wow! Can you come fix my oopses in my garden? I love the fairy garden and it is so nice to see Benjamin.

Benjamin's eyes are such an amazing color.

Great comeback.. lookup little Benjamin

You wanted a suggestion for a sphere, so I found this: ConcreteDIY on KZfaq uses a Yoga ball and I think this will work.

you are great you do a great job..

That turned out cute.

Benjamín it's getting so big ,so very cute pretty soon he's going to be able to help you in your projects LOL, anyhow can't wait to try and do mine and see how it turns out thanks 😏😏

I have used an exercise ball as well as a large baloon with a couple layers of papier mache using metacellulose. When dry its a good solid base for hypa tufa😆

Just had a thought, what about pool noodles from the Dollar Tree store? You can duct tape them to the shape you want. Wrap plastic wrap around them and add the cement,

That's really cute!! I think you could sell it in your parents store.

Awesome...... Hugs ......... Shirlene

Do you have a link to all the fairy garden videos you've done? I'm having a hard time finding them.

Loved it❣️✨

Two bowls and then glue/affix the two halves like a pokeball or easter egg?! ♡ either way- this is adorable!

That turned out so cute but not as cute as that Benjamin. That is also my son's name.

Love it great job!!!

Love this!💜

It's nice as you have done it.

it turned out really good

Please show us how you made the cave form and where you got the ogre. He is totally cute.

Good job!

What was the sphere made from

Oh my gosh that is so cute!!

Nice very creative i like it.

Amazing!
