Do you know how to create a fairy house for your fairy garden? Well, I don't want to brag about it, but I know a thing or two about this topic.
I'm not saying that I am a professional specialist now in fairy gardens, but still, I am very proud of the little houses I created so far.
Today, I will be showing you the making of my fourth fairy house. Although it took me a while to complete it, I must say I'm quite proud of the result.
So, the way I created this fairy house for my fairy garden is totally my way: let's go!
( there are other ways, as you could read here )
How I created a woodenfairy house, step 1: The Base of the fairy house.
As for my other 2 fairy houses, for this one, the base is also made from Laser cut wood with the help of laser cutting machinery and the few miniature kits that I got for a birthday of mine.
These are created by Joscelin Kenny from AlchemyEngraving on Etsy and are perfect to start out with as a base.
So, you start out with varnishing all the separate pieces the first time, especially if you would like to place the fairy house outside one day.
(even then, giving it a coat of varnish won't do any harm to it 😉 ).
This would be the final result if left undecorated. Although pretty in itself, that is not how I wanted it to be haha;-)
Instead of ships varnish, I use outdoors mod podge, a product that glues and varnishes at the same time.
But when the little house is finished, I would not advise using mod podge once more as a final coat of varnish, because it tends to turn white when it rains. (the white shine goes away again when it dries up though)
My Way On How To Create A Fairy House For Your Fairy Garden.
Step 1: Assemble The Dollhouse Kit by using Mod Podge
Obviously, you need to first assemble the kit together, and I have used Mod Podge again for this, but I have not put the roof on the walls yet. Why?
Because if I had done that, then underneath the roof, it would have been hard to attach the wooden beams, as you will see below.
Also, I have already glued on all the pebbles around the little windows and doors and started to paint here and there. I wasn't sure yet about the colors at that point.
