I love everything Valerie posts at Frugal Family Fun does with her two girls and wish I had the time to do all of them! For the past two nights I have been hard at work making a fairy house for Bear using a tutorial that Valerie recently posted.
I added a button doorknob and a little loop of vine (embroidery floss) to keep the door shut. I used cheap acrylic felt because that is all I had. It was thicker than most cheap felts so I just doubled it to make the house sturdier. I cut out some felt autumn leaves to decorate and used a real dried leaf as a carpet for the little fairy's outdoor area. I made my fairy differently, and will eventually post a tutorial for it.
Of course, I couldn't wait until Christmas to give it to Bear.
Today I took Bear on a special Mommy and me outing to the fabric store and bought more felt for a second house. I will likely be up late again tonight! LOL! We're going to create a little village of fairies :)
Thank you, Valerie, for your inspiration!
Well done! This is really, really cute!
