Fairy houses are endearing and creative structures that come in various shapes and sizes. Some are intricately detailed while some have a lighter touch. They can withstand the seasons or be built just for the weekend, depending on your needs. At previous festivals, we’ve had “Fairy Disco’s”, “Fairy Ferris Wheels”, and “Eye Doctor’s” If you want to know how to build a fairy house at home, then this guide and a few tips we have learned along with it should help you get prepared for your creative experience.
Think of new perspectives, live your dreams, and reach for the stars. As an artist, you might be looking for somewhere nice to spend the day – a place to sleep, a playground with friends, or somewhere you can go and curl up with some books. If you were to give an acorn to a fairy, they would eat it and make your wish come true. When you go for a walk or visit your favorite woods, stop and look closely at nature’s small wonders.
This is a really creative project, and you should be open to getting feedback and changing your design plan. The process could take you some time, so give yourself some room to figure it out.
Here is a list of what materials you will need start the build.
Grass, leaves, moss, bark, sticks, twigs,pine combs and leaves and flowers for decoration.
Cardboard or foam sheet to cut and create a box shape
River stones,or natural looking small rocks
Build a roof for your fairy house out of a flat piece of cardboard or foam sheets and use hot glue to assemble your house to give it stability. This will make it easier to transport the house without it falling apart. Hot glue, wire, and twine can be used on a structure to make it more secure, but hide them as best as you can to maintain the artistic appeal.
There are so many benefits to building a Fairy House – it’s a great opportunity for collaboration, and opens up new possibilities that never would have come up before. If you’re feeling stuck, chat with someone new!
Do you know what type of project you’re looking for? You might be able to narrow down the style or “feel” of your design by deciding on a theme.
Get Inspired by going for a stroll in your favorite woodland.Take along a bag or basket so you can find treasures on the way. It’s like magic – anything could become something creative if you’re observant enough. Materials used at festivals should be all natural. The extra challenge they provide is worth it as we move from plastic, metal and other non-natural materials that are left behind in the woods and take away from the organic designs.
