Fairy House From Cinder Block

Other than the concrete block, we purchased all of our supplies at Hobby Lobby (you can see the full list of supplies and more detailed instructions on my blog at the link below).
First we used decorative wood craft moulding to create the door frame and window frames.

We used mosaic tiles for the windows and then created a door using craft wood sticks.

My daughter chose the colors for the fairy house and she wanted a blue and green color scheme. We painted the door and window moulding blue and then painted the door a darker bluish-grey.

We added more decorative moulding to the front sides and the top front of the block and painted those green.

We then adhered flat glass beads to the front of the block.

Next, using wood craft sticks, we built the roof.

And then painted it blue.

We then moved the fairy house to its intended location where I gave the wood sections of the house three coats of exterior spar urethane.

My daughter then wanted to add “fairy dust” to the house, so we glitter-bombed the heck out of that fairy house! The little fairies inhabiting this dwelling will not be short on fairy dust for some time, I can assure you of that! 🙂

The fairy garden is a fun mother-daughter project that we can continue to work on and build. Plus, my daughter has never been so excited about one of my projects before!
