Hi friends!!
Spring is in the air and Easter is close too, so it would be a good idea to tackle a project with my daughters while enjoying some time outdoors.
Before I show you how to make this little fairy home, I want to tell you about the monthly challenge happening in the Upcycle Sharin’ facebook group {click on that link to join over 50,000 other members that love repurposed projects and to get the upcycle challenge information each month}!

At the beginning of each month this year, we’ll be posting a themed upcycling challenge. You’ll have the chance to link up one {or more} of your favorite projects that fit the theme {you don’t need to have a blog … you can simply link a photo at the bottom of this post} and readers will have the chance to vote on their favorites!

My daughters wanted to make a fairy home for a while, and this was the perfect excuse to make one.
We used what you can see in the picture below. I will add some affiliate links for your convenience.
How to make a little fairy home
- Milk carton
- Tree leaves
- Piece of cardboard
- Little pebbles
- Glue gun
- Wood glue
We traced a circle on a piece of cardboard. We love cardboard, you can see it from other projects like this cardboard village.
We divided it into sections to bend it and make a rounded roof.
You can see I had some help 😉
We used a hot glue gun to attach the leaves on top, and white glue to add the little stones.
We found that we were needing a great amount of glue to keep those stones in place.
We did the window with a little piece of cardboard and attached it with the hot glue gun as well.
Even our project is not green itself, it will be in the garden which is full with shamrocks. And no, we haven’t found a four-leave one yet.
We hope our fairies enjoy their new home :-). We made our little fairy home with all of our love!
If you like it you can Pin It and save it for later.

Pili – I can’t see the fairy home, I hope it shows up soon.
Hi, Stella!! Thanks for letting me know, we’ve between Barcelona and the south of France and I scheduled it to show on the right day, but I somehow messed it and scheduled the draft instead of the correct one.
I can see it now and I love it! I totally want one of these little fairy homes in my garden.
Pili this is sooo cute ~ my daughters would love one of these in our garden! I’ve thought about it during the summer but never made one, maybe soon, I’ll show them this one. I’m sure they wanna do one right away!
Katrin, when Christmas are over and lives get back to normality you can make some with them, I can tell you’ll have fun!!
I love it, I love it , I love it!
Little girl’s dream come true 🙂
They love it too!! Even my little one made a table and an umbrella out of cardboard for the fairies, she wants them to feel at home
Wow!!!!! Pili, you and your girls did such an amazing job on this fairy house!!! I’m going to have to use your tutorial to make my little ones and fairy house too…they love Tinkerbell!! 😉 This really looks awesome!!
Hi, Keri!! One of the most exciting things was looking for the peebles… we have a lot of sand around us but not peebles. You can’t imagine our face when we discovered a playground with millions of them!
I’m sure your little ones would love one, and I would love to see yours.
Thank you for your sweet comments!
oh so lovely! I need one of these for my garden or craft room or just to have. Such a lovely fairy home! Great diy too 🙂 Thanks for sharing this beauty with us!
Thank you darling! I hope it resist the rain or we’ll need to make another… maybe with a different roof
Pili this is so adorable! I absolutely love how rustic it looks like it could be a home out of middle earth. You are so lucky to have your girls to inspire you.
You are absolutely right, I am blessed to have two precious daughters who love to make anything with her hands.
Thank you so much for your kind comments Mary.
Such a cute fairy house! I love that you used leaves for the roof!
Hi, T’onna! We thought the best thing for the roof were leaves, as it was round. And there were easy to attach and much lighter than the pebbles.
That is beyond adorable! What a creative project! I’ll check out what the other bloggers did for the fairy theme! I can just picture a line of happy fairies coming to visit their home! Your girls did a fabulous job!
We would love to have a line of happy fairies coming home, can you imagine that? My youngest has made even a table for them
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comment!
OH my gosh…this turned out so cute! I love the idea!! 🙂
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J! Merry Christmas!
You’re too kind, Jess! Thank you so much!
This is great , my kids loved fairy houses when they were little and still do. Thank you for sharing on #overthemoon
I think all kids love fairy houses, Jennifer. They are so magical!!
Thanks for visiting!
This is amazing! Sure it wouldn’t look like that if I did it, sadly – but I’m so impressed! Happy Christmas! #lifelovinglinky
Don’t be so hard with yourself, I’m sure you could make any lovely craft if your kids asked you. Is there something a mom can’t do when they ask us with their bright eyes?
Many thanks for stopping by!
Happy New Year to you Pili! I LOVE your adorable Fairy House! Thank you for sharing it with us at Inspire Me Monday at Create With Joy – I’m so happy to share that you are one of our Featured Guests this week! 🙂
Happy New Year to you too!! Thank you so much for the feature, what a wonderful way to end the year! You made my day 🙂
This is adorable! I love how you worked together and used easy to gather supplies.
I treat my fairies well but can always use new ways to spoil them.
There is never too much regarding making fairies happy, they bring us joy!
Welcome to my crazy corner, Laura, and Happy New Year!
This is absolutely darling! What a great and pretty idea! Thank you so much for sharing at my craft party on Thursday! I pinned all your entries! Would love to see your newest posts this week, which starts at 7pm EST.
Thank you so much, Denise! See you at the party this week, Happy New Year!!
This is so amazing. If I were a fairy, I would definitely make a home here. You’ve been so patient with those stones. One of my best friends has a fairy garden in the window of her cellar room. It was there when she moved in and she’s maintained it ever since. What a lovely idea.

Hi, Pamela!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing, welcome to my crazy corner!! I hope you enjoy staying around here
My bitty granddaughter is planting her first garden this year. Although she is too young (14 months) to build the fairy house, CuiCui can make it for her and we can set it in her garden. I can’t wait to get started. Thank you.
Awww that’s cute. I’m sure when she is a bit older she will enjoy her garden.
This is so adorable
Thanks Tammy, we really had a great time putting it together
Wow this is so cool! Great job!
Maria
