Making fairy garden houses using a cardboard
As we use a plastic bottle to make a miniature fairy garden house, in the same way we can also use a cardboard.
You can use any cardboard like the shipping boxes from Amazon. Fold the cardboard forming four walls of the house and glue the joining edges.
With the help of a cutter, cut windows and door on the front side of the cardboard wall. Glue pieces of twigs or match sticks to form windows.
For roof, take a bigger piece of carboard and fold it from middle to form two sloping sides in triangular shape like the traditional gable roof and glue it over the cardboard structure you previously made.
Cut small pieces of cardboard and glue it on roof to create shingles texture. You can also use moss in place of shingles.
Now comes the fun part, decorating fairy house with colorful stones and painting the house. Create a pathway using sand and pebbles. Add plants and flowers. Decorate fairy house surroundings with tiny mushrooms, pond or a fountain and a swing.
