DIY Fairy House: An Easy Peasy Upcycled Creamer Bottle Craft

You Will Need…
Empty creamer container {we recommend a big one and be sure to wash it out}
Green heavy weight paper
Tissue paper
White glue
Paint brush
Scissors
Tea light {battery operated for safety}

How To Make The DIY Fairy House…
1. Tear strips of tissue paper in the colors of the rainbow about 1 and 1/2 inch wide and 6 inches long.

2. Cut a door and a window out of the green paper. They can be any size and shape but using rounded corners is the secret to making it look like a fairy cottage.

3. Use the paintbrush to spread the glue on the surface of the creamer bottle. Start at the bottom and wrap the strips of colored tissue around the bottle using the paintbrush to spread a thin layer of glue over the top of the tissue paper as well.

4. While the glue is still wet, attach the window and door to the fairy house and use the tip of the scissors to pull or push away the tissue paper on the inside of the window frame and window in the door. Add extra glue if needed to the edges of the door and window and set aside to dry.

5. Wrap the green paper into a cone shape and trim it to be as tall as you want it or about 5 inches tall. Use the glue to seal the edge and let it dry. Once dry, apply a generous amount of glue to the top rim of the creamer lid and attach the top of the house to dry securely.

6. Use the scraps of the green paper and cut vines and leaves and apply them to the sides of the house wherever you wish. Add more white glue if needed.

7. Once the tissue paper and all glue is dry, use a sharp utility or craft knife to cut the very bottom of the creamer bottle off. Be extremely careful to not cut yourself and to make an even edge around the bottom so that it will sit flat on any surface.

8. To light the fairy cottage, place a battery powered tea light on the surface where you wish the light to glow and set the house over the top of it.
