Today we make a miniature gnome garden for inside, that looks cozy in the living room. We have a lot of Autumn materials, like twigs and pine cones amongst other things. Which we can put to good use in this craft!

Cover the sand with pebbles.

Put a layer of soil on top.

Put the plant in the soil.

Place the moss on the soil.

The sand and pebbles at the bottom of the pot ensure that the excess water is absorbed, if you give your plant a little water now and then
