Fairy Houses Fairies wander from place to place, using their magic to help plants grow. If you want a fairy to visit your plants, inside or outside, you’ll have to build them a place to stay. Once you’ve constructed your fairy house, share it with us on social media or email us at [email protected]! Step 1: Gather your materials. Fairies won’t use houses made with materials gathered from living things, so collect things that have fallen to the ground or from a dead tree. Step 2: Construct the fairy house. Use flat pieces of bark like this or use sticks. Some fairies are small, some are big. Make your house any size you like. Step 3: Get creative! Decorate the house however you like with moss*, shells, pine needles, and rocks. Decorate around the house too. *If you build your fairy house inside and use moss to decorate it, make sure you water it along with your plants so it doesn’t dry out! Step 4: Leave the door open so fairies know they can use the house!
