DIY - Faerie Nest Wall Hanging

.....soft whispers and faerie light....

... an ancient miracle....

... awakening...

Simply fill the bottom or top lit of a camembert cheese box

 with a firm layer of wool (fleece). 

You can create two bases out of one camembert box.

Prick with a felting needle to make a firm batt of it 

and attach it to the lit with some hot glue.

Then use the felting needle to attach wool curls, 

mohair for the centre and a small Faerie egg.

Decorate the nest with found feathers, branches and angelina fiber,

For wall hanging prick a hole into the backside.

... a faerie nest...

... made with love....

...love will shine from it...

Fairy Houses - DIY Milk Carton Flower Fairy Home

Yesterday I suddenly had inspiration to create a new kind of fairy house that could be used as a flower pot too. I'm very pleased with the result especially since I can finally recycle our milk cartons into fairy houses.

 Like always this is very easy to create!

1 - You need a used, well rinsed milk carton (the ones in Holland have a spout that can be used to water the plants).
2 - Prick a hole in the side of the carton with scissors and cut out 2 square windows. You can use the flaps to create shutters, but this time I just removed them.
3 - Fill the bottom with some soil and fill the carton with succulents till just above the square windows.
Optional; cut the support bar between the windows to easily fill the carton with plants. Later you can restore it when you cover the carton with barch.
4 - Cover the entire sides of the carton with barch and moss and create a barch roof using a hot glue gun. And finally decorate the house with pressed flowers, moss, snail shells and feathers.

These homes will attract the flower fairies of the plants that are growing inside.
Good luck and I wish you a magical weekend!

Fairy Houses - Fairy Bird House

Today I'm still having so much fun with my fairy bird houses made of egg cartons!

(click here for the complete tutorial)

                                                                                                    

They are ready in no time,so I can easily prepare some during nap time.

And while my toddler plays with all the lovely materials I decorate them.

For this one I used my beloved woodpecker feather that I found in our garden.
Together with some willow twigs, dried moss and alder clots it makes a lovely scene I think.

Of course these houses can be used by all kinds of tiny creatures. 

I wonder who will live here...

  Have a magical weekend!
