 Haunted Gnome Fairy Garden DIY
This is the cutest take on a fairy garden with a Halloween twist!
I love Halloween done cute and I love terrariums.  This is a great addition to a fairy garden or existing planter in your home.

 You will need:
Geometric Terrarium
Black decorative sand
Mini succulents
Little gnome
Various colors of paint, paintbrush, hot glue/gun and snippers

 Start by giving your gnome a new look.  I painted the clothes to look more Halloween-ish.
I kept the brown pants and black boots.  Painted the hat purple and the shirt green.
I love lime green and purple for Halloween.

 Then use some wire cutters and snip the flowers short.
It's resin, so it snips easily.

 Next use some molding plastic or hot glue and cover the flower pot.
You can use a heat gun to keep it all melted together.

 Give it a little stem and leaf and let it cool.
Then paint it to look like a little pumpkin.
Sorry, it started getting super dark!  Touch up any paint and let it dry completely.
If the hot glue scares you, use some air dry clay and mold it around that flowerpot until it looks pumpkiny.

 Use some black paint and paint part of the succulents to make them spooky.

 Now you can pour in some black sand in the terrarium.
Just fill it until you are satisfied.

 Stick in the succulent picks.

 And then place that little gnome front and center!
So cute and the perfect non-horrifying Halloween decoration!
