As I get ready to make Fairy Forest on my property, I realized I need some houses for these fairies to live in! Today I put together this simple Fairy House and I just love how it turned out!
You will need:

- Glue the plastic ladder to the birdhouse so it goes up to the door.
- Add glue at the foot of the ladder on the wood log slice.
- Glue the carrot patch on the wood log slice behind the ladder.
- Glue a gnome at the top of the ladder near the front door.
- Glue another gnome at the base of the ladder on the first step.
