The Fae
Build A Faery House
Any garden faery would surely love a home your garden!!
Making a faery house:
Since the fae
are nature spirits, using items like pinecones, pebbles and small stones, twigs, moss, acorns, ect. You get the
idea..
I use a strong craft or hot glue.
Find a nice flat piece of wood.
You can make the house as big or as small
as you like..
If you have access to shale or other flat stone,
find some in the proper scale to the house you want.
You
also want a crystal(I like to use amythest)..or what ever is pleasing to you.
You will need some twigs, moss etc. for roofing.
Pick
out the flat stones to make the sides of the house.
Using the flat wood as a base glue the stones on the wood.
Be sure
to leave a door opening for the faery to enter.
I like to leave a good inch or so border of wood base showing.
When
you have the sides of your house done Put on your roof.
I like to use twigs than place moss on top of that.
After
you get this done start decorating the house and wood base
with the acorns, pinecones, pebbles etc in a pleasing manner.
You
can place some items inside the house if you like.
These I do not glue down.
Than I attach the crystal above the door.
You
can use glue but I like to use floral wire wrapped around a section,
and than use that to attach to one of the roof twigs.
Give
the house a day or two to set the glue.
Do not use paint on the house.
Sometimes I will even place a trinket(faery love
bright and shining things) in the house.
Do not use Iron or nickel as this repels faery.
When ready place the little
faery home some where in your garden or flowerbeds.
Call out and let the faery know that this is a place for them.
I
like to place some milk or honeycakes near the home.
Don't do this if your concerned about attracting animals.
Now
you have a special place for your faery friends to visit.
You can put as many of these around as you like.
I usually
keep two or three around.
