Make A Fairy Vignette From Vintage Alarm Clocks
There is nothing better than an old round alarm clock that stands on legs. It’s no wonder no one uses them to wake up to anymore. They were awful! Im sure they gave more than a few people real heart attacks first thing in the morning! Fortunately now we have whatever sound we want to get us moving so we can transform those pretty little round faces into fairy houses or miniature vignettes. This little green garden vignette with a swing is one of my favorites. Its a beautiful evening to swing outside and watch the stars. Michelle at Crafty Mix will show you how to make this cute swing…

A French Fairy House
There is an artist in France that is making paper mache Fairy houses, Carriages and fairy tale characters that you must see. Her name is Laetitia Mieral. She is a darling girl that calls herself a ‘paper magician’, and she truly is a magician with paper! You can watch her enchanting videos on YouTube.

Make your own Fairy Pumpkin House for Fall and Halloween
It’s officially Fall! So let’s get ready to decorate our gardens with Fairy Pumpkin houses for Halloween! Since the weather is getting cooler and the evenings are getting shorter now is a great time to hunt for a real pumpkin to carve for this project or a Funkin Pumpkin from the craft or Dollar Store. This pumpkin above has been painted black and hollowed out. Every year our family has a pumpkin carving contest. It is one of our highlights! Last year our team turned a little white pumpkin into a fairy carriage that lit up inside. It was really cute and the kids loved it. We take this contest…

How to make a Fairy Garden with Stone Houses
There are so many different ways of making a Fairy Garden. Each garden is as individual as its owner. This Fairy Garden is one of my favorites because each little house is handmade out of cement. Diana, the owner of this fairy garden, has shared her techniques for making these charming little rustic fairy houses. She used templates to form the walls of the fairy houses and pressed rocks into the wet cement which gave it a rough texture. She doesn’t say exactly what mixture she used but Hypertufa could be used for this project and be lighter in weight. And, like cement, once it has cured it is safe…

You can Make a Fairy House out of a Rock!
I am thinking I need to start looking for rocks to make my own fairy house. What an easy fun way to add more whimsy to your garden. I have been looking at so many different pictures of these rock fairy houses and it doesn’t seem to matter what shape or size rock you have. I guess you pick a rock and let it tell you what it wants to be, hehe! But seriously, I think one of the only things that is important would be that you make sure that you sit the rock down and see how it sits best without tipping over and then see if the…

Make a Fairy Clock House for your Fairy Garden with Found Objects
There are so many wonderful Fairy Garden projects that I have a hard time choosing which projects I’m going to do next. But when I ran across these Fairy Clock Houses I decided this would be it. First of all, I have a clock just like the ones in the pictures that I got at Walmart a few years ago…cheap cheap…so I don’t mind taking it apart. And second, several of the houses are made using paper from Graphic 45. Check them out they have wonderful unique papers. This picture above is paper from Graphic 45 called Secret Garden. You can go to the Graphic 45 site and get a…
