Along with the great answers given above... Dorothy Morrison has a great book called Bud, Blossom, And Leaf (i think that's what it's called.) You should find some good tips in there.
Also, I saw a guy on HGTV a while back that makes fairy houses from natural materials. Here is a link... http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/cr_artists/article/0,1789,HGTV_3228_2251271,00.html

Well, anything natural will attract a fairy, but If your asking me, get some glitter, some little bird baths, and a big willow tree. Those will get them to come to your yard.
But bigger and more importantly than those, you'll have to fill your garden with laughter! That's the biggest thing that will attract a fairy! They love laughter! It entices them, makes them want to see what they are missing!
So, go out and just be happy! Laugh and call to them to laugh with you. After some time, they will no longer be able to resist their temptation to laugh and dance and sing with you in your lush green garden.
Good luck and may the fairy's be happy in your garden and in your presents!.

All of the above are good ideas, I have in the past also made an offering of Fairy wine, which is made by warming milk in a pan and dissolving honey within it. Usually when making an offering of this type I will also include some type of natural food, soy nuts, and add the phrase, "May you never thirst and never hunger. Merry meet and blessed be."
Bright Blessings )O(

The above answers are very good! I will add a dedication blessing~~Wait untill the sun goes down...take your magic wand (or a stck from the garden) and hold it high...Then bend and draw a circle with the wand around your feet...stand in the circle and say...
Fairy fairy fairy bright
Come and be my chosen sprite
on this special moonlit night
Waters run clear
I am here
Welcome welcome fairy dear...
You also may know that the best time to see a fairy is at dusk, dawn. midnight and midday!

When you plant an enchanted garden for attracting fairies, you will undoubtedly attract some other friends to your fairy garden with birdhouses, bird baths, bird feeders and hummingbird feeders. Fairies seem to enjoy the same habitat that butterflies love, so plant flowers, plants and herbs that attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.
When planning your enchanted garden, many plants attract butterflies and fairies... some of the fairies favorite flowers are sunflower, honeysuckle, fernleaf yarrow, summer lilac, red valerian, daisies, cosmos, rosemary, thyme, purple coneflower, pincushion scabiosa, french lavender and heliotrope. (See also Flowers that Attract Fairies). Plant pansies, snapdragons, blue columbine, foxglove (foxglove, meaning “Folk’s glove” is used for gloves and hats), tulips (tulips are good for clothing and for their babes beds), butterfly, nasturtiums and a long list of other favorites to attract hummingbirds and garden fairies . They love fruit trees such as apple, cherry or pear. They like to use the blossoms for clothing and for spring festivities.
If you happen to live near a stream, you are probably lucky enough to have water fairies in your enchanted garden. Fairies and water sprites love the sights and sounds of water. If you don’t have a stream, building a water garden is just as good. Consider adding a small fountain, low bird bath, waterfall or fishpond to attract fairies. Focus on the area around the water garden and work your way out from there. Garden statues of fairies will also help attract the wee ones. Shiny wind chimes, gazing globes and colorful garden flags can help you entice gnomes and elves to add their presence.
Perhaps you're lucky and have an oak tree in your enchanted garden for attracting fairies... if not, consider planting an oak tree! Fairies cherish the Great Oak and use the acorns for decoration, celebrations and use the tops for hats. Magic oak leaves are used in the autumn celebrations. Hundreds of faeries have been found to live in the oldest Oaks. There are fairies to be found in every Oak tree. The health and energy of the surrounding fairy garden plays a major role in determining how many fairies actually live in the Great Oak. Try placing crystals in the ground surrounding the Great Oak if you feel that the energy needs lifting.
Don’t forget that the wee ones are nature loving and enjoy their fun. When attracting fairies into your garden keep it clear of weeds and slugs, although a small patch that is unkempt or planted with wildflowers is fine, so plan to leave part of your garden a bit unkempt. This small area will make fairies feel welcomed. It doesn’t have to be a very large space, but having this one little space will give joy to your fairy friends.
The final step is attracting fairies to come to your garden is very simple. Ask them. If you give conscious energy to this event, it will happen. Believe.

And finally,
remember to think about what you want to attract. A physical tool means very little if your heart is not focused on your intentions.
If you first create a state of mind to attract fairies, you will meet your intentions.
REALITY is bigger than this physical world.

Try putting a bowl of milk near your back door. This is an old Irish thing.

They like flowers and mushrooms and places for them to hide. You could build little fairy houses out of wood....

Mushrooms and toadstools attract fairies. It is somewhat difficult to grow them, they sort of occur naturally.
