Fairy Houses

Every fairy-catcher should have fairy houses inside and outside -- at least one each.

Every house should have a bell.  This helps fairies interpret any messages we may leave them.  It's also a good idea to have a sign telling fairies that this is a safe house, especially if there are big men, dogs or cats, etc.

This sign says, "Fairies, it's safe.  Daddy's ok." That's just in case fairies are afraid of big men.

INDOOR HOUSES:

• Building fairy houses can be very creative and also very simple if you just use a cardboard box and decorate it with ribbons, fabric, paper or wrapping paper.

  

  House made out of cardboard box, doll accessories, and ribbon.  There's even a cup to wipe your excess pixie dust into!

• Use an empty toilet paper tube, add a welcome mat, and some cozy touches like a shell and a pillow!

• Miniature furniture from doll houses works really well.
• Wall paper can be made from regular paper that you draw on and tape or glue onto the house.
• Place the house in your bedroom -- that's best -- but not right by your bed in case they are afraid of waking you up or in case you snore in your sleep.

OUTDOOR HOUSES:

• Bird houses from craft stores make cute fairy houses.  Plus, the tiny doors prevents hawks getting in.
• An overflowing plant next to a smaller plant can make a little pathway and a hollow -- perfect for fairy houses!



Tree hollows make GREAT fairy houses!

• Hollows at the bottom of tree trunks are great!

A bird house -- inexpensive, attractive

, perfect!

TIP:  When you check your houses for fairies, sing a little song and put on a fairy costume (if you have one) to make them feel safer.

A perfect setting for an outdoor fairy house!
