Whimsical Fairy Houses: 12 Days of Fanciful Fairy Houses that You Can Make

Looking for inspiration on making Paper Fairy Houses? Well, this is the place. It's for the Whimsical Fairy House challenge where I'll post 12 different designs from May 5th to May 16th. All of these designs are free.

See the calendar below. Each design will be released at 9 am ET. So at 9 am the pattern will be available in the Paper Glitter Glue library along with the written tutorial and a video.

What do you need to make these Fairy Houses?

Here is a list of materials that you can use to construct the Paper Fairy Houses.

Basic Materials for Constructing Fairy Houses

• Card stock - If using card stock, I prefer 110# card stock for the structure of the Fairy Houses, but 65# card stock works as well.
• Cardboard is my favorite material for making houses - 22 point cardboard works well.
• Watercolor paper takes stain and paint beautifully - makes great flowers
• Crepe paper for truly beautiful flowers
• Gesso primer for painting cardboard
• Acrylic paint for painting cardboard, card stock, and decorative elements
• Glue options - Quick Dry Tacky Glue or Bearly Art Glue
• Other options for the body of the house - oatmeal boxes, Pringles boxes, toilet paper rolls

Materials for Decorating the Fairy Houses

• Cheese boxes for bases
• Wood slices for fairy house bases
• Coffee stirrers for wood walls
• Paper clay
• Crepe paper is a great option for petals
• Heavy watercolor paper for flowers - takes paint well (if you want to paint your flowers rather than using card stock)
• Tiny seashells
• Moss
• Cotton mushrooms
• Peg dolls
• Other natural materials like small acorn caps, pine cone scales, rocks for pathways, twigs, dried leaves or flowers, just use your imagination
