Making a Fairy House
By Catherine McMahon – Aunty Catherine
You will need:
A paper plate base.
A yogurt pot or piece of cardboard tubing such as a large poster tube.
Corrugated cardboard for roof.
Moss – you can collect your own in a forest or buy some in a model building shop.
Bark and mini cones or acorns.
Tiny Pebbles or crystal chips.
Glitter.
Glue- PVA is fine.
Step One:
Ask an adult to cut a doorway in the yogurt carton or the cardboard tube. If using a cardboard tube ask an adult to cut a V to make a roof.
Glue the yogurt carton or cardboard tube to base
Step Two:
Ask an adult to score the roof so it bends in the centre.
Glue on the roof and cover it with moss and bark. This will take a while as the roof has to set first. If you have a hot glue gun it will be quicker but not necessary.
Step Three:
Glue moss onto the base around the fairy house.
Glue on some pebbles or crystal chips to make a pathway to the front door.
Decorate with mini cones or acorns. We had a dragonfly button that we glued on the front door you can decorate it anyway you wish.
Step Four:
Add some glitter if you wish.
Invite the fairies to come and stay!!!!!
