Fae House

Usually I am no good at crafts. It hasn’t stopped me from trying though! I have made a few things that are not horrible, so I figure I will share them with you. I made a Fairy House last year, and I still have it sitting in my room on a shelf. It is not the nicest thing ever, but it works.

I went to Wal-Mart and bought three different colors of felt for it. I have green, white, and pink. I bought some feathers and small popsicle sticks also. We have a hot glue gun so I used that. I figured it would be better than a glue stick and safer than super glue. Every time I use super glue I end up with my fingers glued together or to something else, so I am really not going to use it unless I need to! xD

I got a box and I glued a piece of felt to the bottom. I made two beds, a table, two chairs, and a chest out of the popsicle sticks. It wasn’t difficult; I did mess up a few times though! I tried to take pictures of the furniture, but I am not very good at it so they did not come out. Next I made mattresses, pillows, and blankets out of the felt. The mattresses and pillows have pieces of feathers in them. I even made extra blankets to put in the chest.

Next I cut a couple windows and a door into the box, even though there is no top on it. Then I decorated by gluing multi-colored straw and some beads on the front of the house. I also put some glitter on it, because the Fae love sparkly things.

Like I said, it’s not the nicest. But, it was fun to make and it is something for the Fae. I hope someone else decides to make one. I’d love to see some pictures!
