Sooo, here goes.
Here is our first one. This is a cute idea using a PVC flower pot. Now they made the windows with solar panels so they light up at night. Just remember to use the right paint. Not all paints work on PVC and are for outdoors. If you are unsure, please ask your local hardware store. I really enjoyed how they finished off the house with the pebbles, it really gives it the authentic look. Here is the site I found this at: http://tahanidesigns.blogspot.com/2012/09/fairy-house-homemade-durable-and-solar.html
To the right you have a rain boot. I had to include this as it was just too funny but creative. It only proves that you can use just about anything. I don't know where I got this, or if someone could have sent it to me. I just think that it was too cute not to share it with you.
This one is nice if you have a border in you garden. It looks like a 3-D type. I am not sure how to do it but it might be fun to experiment .
On the right we have a large juice bottle with colored popsicle roof. The siding is made from colored straws and more popsicles for the door. It is really cute and bright for kids.
Here is another fun project to do with the kids. You start with an empty milk or juice carton. This one is more an earthy tone. Gather up twigs and an adult will need to use pruning sheers to cut them to the right size. You then cut the window frames and doors with popsicle sticks. Hot glue them on the box and then make you roof and glue them on. Decorate as needed.
Here is an idea using an old terra cotta pot and rocks. The metal arch helps give it stability. I bet you could use a broken one if you had some lying around. My nephew cut the lawn and he broke a couple of my moms.
Using an old bird cage is a great idea too. There is so many ideas that you can do with it. Moss really works out for the roof.
I found this picture and I loved it. There are no instruction to this but I had to add. I am not so crafty to know how to start this one. I guess that lots of glue or grout on a surface and then using black sand and then stones. But I guess this one I will need to do more research for it.
I hope this gives you some ideas. Now remember what I have said about any craft, it is all about having fun and being creative. Those little imperfections that happen just gives your craft a personal touch. So have fun and be adventurous.
