DIY Fairy Tree House using natural materials

[@5DNRG]

The other day as I was biking along a path next to a stream, my eye caught something so I stopped and went back. There was a little meandering path dropping down to the stream that had a handmade sign on a tree that read Fairy Village. There certainly was...it was a perfect tiny village for fairies with little cottages, trees, flowers and an aura of anticipation waiting for their return. It was mesmerizing and heart melting...💙🌈💚🌻🌷

[@maryinthefairyland895]

Sound very awesome, did you make a picture?

[@5DNRG]

@@maryinthefairyland895 sadly no...😌

[@dancingfaeries]

The little accents hanging from the roof to the ladder to the little pulley system off the railing. It just makes it look all the more like a fairy is living there and is actively doing daily maintenance, this was beautiful 💞

[@angelakate9922]

Swear this perfectly demonstrate this itch and vision in my mind about my obsession towards small fairy houses that can be seen in the trees,rocks, etc

[@susanmorris-smith5509]

I have spent my morning watching your videos from the beginning…. I feel so much joy watching you work and seeing the results of your craft… it’s magical… thank you for sharing 🎶🙏💕

[@leewilliams7152]

That’s so magical and beautiful. This type of thing stimulates kids imaginations to soar.

[@leheli7838]

As I watched this come together and then seeing the finished piece, I felt such emotion at the beauty of it's placement in the woodland. So much talent! Thank you for sharing these.

Very sweet. My only suggestion to makers out there is to be thoughtful about houses made with hot glue. If you intend to leave your hot-glued creations out in nature, the hot glue itself is plastic and will not decompose. Other construction methods are possible and there are bio-degradable glues out there.

[@maryinthefairyland895]

Thank your very much. I love your houses & was inspired by you! I was always wondering why you don't do any DIY videos? thanks for mentioning that. In my case, I don't leave the houses outside. I always make sure that I leave no footprints in nature after doing my videos/pictures. In case I would like to make one to leave outside, what bio-degradable glue would you recommend? best regards!

[@greenspiritarts]

Awww…. Thank you for recognizing my work! I have chosen (for now) to not make any tutorial videos because I hope people can find a lot of good information in my Fairy House Builders “Bible” which people can find in Amazon under my name Sally J Smith + fairy houses. It is indeed possible to make houses that are 100% biodegradable but they take planning and different fastening techniques. For example, the way you layer the wooden sticks gives very good structural strength…if I were going to use the same sticks but no glue there are a couple of different options: 1) you can punch small holes and stitch them together with linen thread or fine wire if you prefer. ( so long as it is steel wire, it will rust and go back into the earth, aluminum wire takes longer). You could also use metal brads and go thru all the layers with those. Would make a cool “old world” look. For coloring wood, if you don’t want to use paint, try very strong coffee or tea, or rub with mud and green leaves… hard! Will make a nice olive green color that blends in nicely. As far as biodegradable glues, I think both Gorillia glue and Elmers make such a product, but I’ve not used either before. For pieces I know I am going to leave in the woods, I prefer thread for binding and stitching, raffia for wrapping and strapping, linen thread in natural and black for sturdy tying together and dyed Hemp thread (comes in many fun colors) for decorative wrapping and stitching. I also use Porcupine quills (carefully!) to pin leaves together and Hawthorne thorns to pin twigs together…they are quite strong. But one does have to adjust how to put the pieces together! Decorative twigs for framing can be held in place using stitching going thru the wall materials if it is not too stiff/thick. It’s why I like Birch Bark so much for making houses that will be left outside. The bark can last for years before it starts to decompose yet you can get a big needle with linen thread thru it to stitch panels together fairly easily. Good luck and I hope you keep making more little houses and sweet videos! The world needs to be reminded that we all need a home and this beautiful earth is the only one we have so let’s share it well! - Bright Blessings, Sally

There are now bacteria that will consume plastics.

[@lyndakowalke8858]

Oh my goodness - Sally! I have never seen such beautiful spirit art like yours ever before. It’s exquisite - you are amazing to be able to produce such magnificence. It’s heavenly! Lynda🧚🏼‍♀️💕

[@greenspiritarts]

@@lyndakowalke8858 Thank you Lynda so very much. I have spent the last year on quiet retreat from publishing any of my work, but a new, fresh stream of inspiration seems to be emerging now. I hope to update my channel soon, but thank you for your kind support! Be Well! 💖

Mary - that looks amazing what you have made. There is so much to be careful of with our footprints, but you are on a fantastic way - it’s so dreamy looking - any fairy would be honored to go there! I love it. The such has always inspired me to try something like that, but have still never done it. I love to see these dreams coming true from people like yourself. It’s just gorgeous! Lynda🧚🏼‍♀️💕

Fairy nice!

[@rebekahodgear3255]

I love this! We’ve made one large gnome house out of a tree stump crafting a roof similar to this one. Made some detail work of ladder and window out of sticks and hot glue but they haven’t held up to the weather. Interested to know how these do with rain and wind. Thinking I need to use twine or floral wiring.

[@maryinthefairyland895]

I actually don't leave them outside. I'm pretty sure they would get destroyed by the rain though. Where can I see your creations?

[@kromafila]

So pretty 😍👏

[@ТатьянаШестакова-щ5э]
