Build a Fairy House this Spring!

You should only use natural things to build your house. Fairies do not like to disturb anything that is growing so you shouldn't use anything that is still growing like flowers, ferns, and leaves. |
Hi, I'm Danielle. I just read a great book called Fairy Houses by Tracy Kane! It's a story about a little girl who builds a fairy house. It tells how she attracted some fairies and a lot of other animals. At the end of the book it tells you all about how you can build a fairy house and attract some fairies too. It says to try to find a place that is hidden and away from people.

My mom helped me build these houses in our garden. I hope the fairies like them. We had a lot of fun building them and so will you. And just maybe you will see a fairy, or at least some animals visiting your home.

Resin Jewelry
This craft is mostly for older children and adults, but younger children will love looking for tiny objects that can be placed in the molds. It should be done outside on a warm spring or summer day because the fumes from the resin are very strong.
The resin and molds used for this craft can be purchased from All Craft Supplies.
You will need to purchase Castin Craft Reusable molds #296702, Castin Craft Clear Casting Resin # 268747, and Castin Craft Mold Release #268527.
Collect tiny items that will fit in each mold. Place them in the molds to make sure they fit and don't stick out over the edge of the molds.
Some suggested items, small flowers, stones, beads, gems, feathers, seeds, candy, stickers, and sea shells.
You can find excellent directions to make these pendants on YouTube and on the package of Castin Craft Resin.
I used needle nosed pliers to bend clip-on 10 mm pendant bails so that one end hung down into the molds. I pulled out the short bottom part so that it would hang down into the molds and squeezed the top of the bails almost closed. If you can't find the right pendant bails, you can use the ends of paper clips or bent wire.
This is a fairly easy craft, but it does take some practice. The we enjoyed most was searching to things to place in the pendants.
