B-day gift for my daughter
Hi all.
I made a fairy/tree house for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. Some backstory on it. I started collecting items for about a year and would look on Pinterest for inspiration/ideas. I’d scour garage sales, FB Marketplace, thrift stores, items found in nature, swap meets, etc. and also once I informed friends of what I was doing, they’d also find things and give to me to add to it.
There are some details I’d like to share:
- the little ruler has my kids’ “heights” written next to it to make it more personal for them
- the floor in the kitchen is made from ripped up egg cartons to give it that cobblestone look
- I used fairy lights throughout and just turn them on when she plays with it
- the outside part of the home (where the red mailbox is located) was super easy! I used the brown packaging paper and saturated it in a 50/50 mix of water and glue and just scrunched it up and placed it on the facade so it’d look like tree bark.
I hope you enjoy!
