Fairy Houses - Moss Fairy House

This moss fairy house is a cosy and safe home 

to all the tiny magical creatures of the moss lands.

It is simply made of a toiletpaper roll base covered with bark and moss. 

You can find the photo-tutorial for the base here.

Once your fairy house is ready, glue it on a slice of birch
to keep the toiletpaper roll dry when you water the moss.

 By adding and changing small decorations like e.g. planters from snail shells, 

birch branch step stones and tiny ladders,

you can make the moss house an even more enjoyable place to be!
(and to look at from your couch of course! :)

Tabletop Fairy Garden

Our son is the very proud collector of the herbs and flowers for this tiny container garden. Making this little scene I noticed how lovely it is to dwell on the beauty of just single flowers.



The flower pots in this miniature flower display are made of half corks that I hollowed out and filled with floral foam. The flower stand is made of 3 pieces of wire of approx 10 cm long, twisted together. The ends are bent and decorated with wooden beads. To attach the cork pot, simply prick a hole in the corks with scissors.



Snail houses are excellent fairy vases. This piece is made of two slices of birch and 4 snail houses glued together. Simply fill the snail houses with a bit of water and some flowers.



By the way, walnut shells make lovely baskets and containers! Do not fill them with water though, that would make them crack. Enjoy!
